The Napoles camp files this petition two days after an arrest warrant was issued against the alleged pork barrel queen

FILING TRO. Janet 'Jenny' Napoles wants the CA to stop the implementation of the arrest warrant against her.

MANILA, Philippines – The camp of alleged pork barrel queen Janet Lim-Napoles has asked the Court of Appeals (CA) to stop the implementation of the arrest warrant against her.

The Napoles camp filed a petition for certiorari with urgent application for temporary restraining order and/or writ for preliminary injunction, television reports on Friday, August 16, said.

A Makati court on Wednesday, August 14, ordered the arrest of Napoles and her brother, Reynaldo “Jojo” Lim, over charges they illegally detained whistleblower Benhur Luy.

The National Bureau of Investigation has urged the Napoles siblings to surrender.

Napoles’ lawyer, Lorna Kapunan, however justified her client’s evading arrest. She said she doesn’t know where Napoles is, but “if you were her, wouldn’t you hide, too?”
