ORDERED ARRESTED. Janet Lim-Napoles and her brother Reynaldo Lim are ordered arrested by a Makati court on Wednesday, August 14

Janet Lim-Napoles, the woman linked by whistleblower Benhur Luy to the pork barrel scam, has been ordered arrested by a Makati court for serious illegal detention. It is a non-bailable crime. Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said on Wednesday agents of the National Bureau of Investigation were on their way to serve the warrant, presumably at her Pacific Plaza Towers residence in Taguig. Luy’s parents, Arturo and Gertrudes, as well as his siblings Arthur and Annabelle accused Napoles of detaining Benhur from December 2012 to March 22, 2013. He was rescued by NBI agents at Napoles’ Taguig condominium. The Luy family provided 6 addresses — owned or occupied by the Napoleses — where Benhur could have possibly be detained. Charges related to the pork barrel scam have yet to be filed.
