Confidential informants are a bit different, here.
One is a low level perp you let slide because they nark on bigger fish, the other is just a random person who may have information that’s sensitive, not necessarily themselves criminal.
Either way, though, that probably goes to entrapment. And if OP’s not a LEO, and still trying to get some one jammed up, there’s probably a slew of charges there- especially if the motive is leverage.
They’re confidential informants where I’m from - regional differences isn’t surprising, wonder how it’s abbreviated for other languages.
