In her motion, Napoles said “there were recorded incidents of harassment, intimidation and threats on her life and security” at the BJMP detention facility. During the hearing of the motion yesterday, David said Napoles’ jail cell was “bolt-cut” and her personal belongings were ransacked sometime in October last year. Napoles’ provisional admission to the program was effective last Feb. 27 but was announced by Aguirre to the media only last Friday. It’s about time that we should listen to Mrs. Napoles,” David added. The DOJ and the BJMP were also directed to comment on Napoles’ motion within 10 days upon receipt of the court’s order.
