(Eagle News)– Alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles was transferred to Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City early Tuesday (May 16) morning.
She was transferred from the Correctional Institute for Women, Mandaluyong City to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) facility in Taguig City where she arrived after 4 a.m.
Napoles’ transfer to Camp Bagong Diwa was upon the order of the Sandiganbayan’s Third Division on Monday (May 15).
After the Court of Appeals (CA) reversed the decision convicting Napoles of serious illegal detention, her camp asked the Sandiganbayan to order her transfer to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) custodial center, citing threats to her life.
The First and Third Divisions of the Sandiganbayan rejected Napoles’ motion of transfer.
Sandiganbayan Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang of the Third Division said Napoles could not be transferred to the NBI custodial center as it is not a jail.
