ust hours after Malacanang set a P10-million bounty for any information leading to her arrest, Janet Napoles surrendered to President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.
Napoles, who is wanted for alleged serious illegal detention of Benhur Luy, a whistle-blower in the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam, surrendered around 9:37 pm, Wednesday.
Napoles, who is wanted for alleged serious illegal detention of Benhur Luy, a whistle-blower in the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam, surrendered around 9:37 pm, Wednesday.
"Janet Napoles surrendered to President Aquino. Napoles is wanted on charges of serious illegal detention arising from the alleged kidnapping of Benhur Luy," Malacanang said in a statement.
Malacanang said Aquino turned over Napoles to Interior Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas and "Philippine National Police Director-General Alan Purisima for processing and booking."
Napoles surprised the whole nation when, after hiding for over two weeks, suddenly surrendered--not just to any law officer but to the highest official of the land, President Aquino.
Roxas however said Napoles opted to surrender to the President out of fear for her life.
"Hindi siya ang maimpluwensiya. Ang pangulo ay nakatanggap ng surrender feeler…si Napoles na possible witness o hinahanap dahil napakalaki ng iniimbestigahan, karapat dapat lang na maibalik sa kustodiya," Roxas told reporters at Camp Crame, where Napoles will be detained.
