Napoles, who was in handcuffs during the transfer, was accompanied by her husband, Jimmy, said PNP SAF Director Carmelo Valmoria. She underwent a medical check-up upon her arrival.
Although she will be in SAF custody, the rules set by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) will be followed.
"Sabi nga namin, no special treatment," Valmoria said.
Valmoria said the custodial officer at the fort will decide on what she could wear while in custody.

The Makati City jail warden and the head of the Criminal Investigation Detection Group-National Capital Region recommended the transfer of Napoles.
Makati City Jail officials said they could not guarantee the safety of Napoles, who has been linked to an intricate web of corruption involving the Priority Development Assistance Fund, lawmakers and fictitious NGOs.
