A Makati court has approved the transfer of controversial businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles from the Makati City Jail to Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, a tweet from radio dzBB said Friday.
Napoles’s camp asked for her transfer for “safety reasons.”

The alleged mastermind in a P10-billion pork barrel scam, Napoles was first brought to Camp Crame in Quezon City after her surrender. She was brought to Makati City Jail on Thursday night.
