MANILA: The alleged contact information and addresses of Janet Lim-Napoles, fugitive and accused congressional fund scam mastermind, are now making rounds online after they were leaked in a Facebook page of a group of Filipinos opposing congressional assistance.
A post on the Facebook page Anonymous Incorporated shows the alleged e-mail addresses, cellphone and landline numbers, as well as residential addresses of Napoles and of some members of her family. “We do not have powers to know everything. We only know few things, but the things we wrote here were all vital and served as a key to unlock the mystery of how graft and corruption works at the very core of our government that no one dared to explain in a public forum,” said the Facebook post created on Tuesday afternoon.
The post listed 11 “verified, valid and working e-mail addresses” and the Napoles’ office and residential addresses in Muntinlupa, Pasig, Taguig, and in California, USA. The Facebook post has already garnered 6,105 “shares” in less than 12 hours. The Facebook page Anonymous Incorporated says it is for “Filipinos totally against the fund under any form or name.”
Napoles is at the centre of the alleged scam, as she is accused of setting up bogus non-government organisations (NGOs) that have received some P10bn ($240m) in funds by some lawmakers.
A Makati court has issued an arrest warrant for Napoles and her brother Reynald Lim, stemming from the illegal detention charges by whistleblower Benhur Luy. Napoles and her brother have eluded arrest, prompting authorities to urge to the public to carry out a “citizen’s arrest” of the embattled businesswoman.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said all regional and field offices of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have been alerted to help the agency’s special teams tasked for Napoles’ arrest.
