|October 4, 2025
The Pasig Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 158 on Wednesday, Oct. 1, convicted Janet Lim Napoles, the alleged mastermind of the 2013 Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam or "pork barrel" scam, on 13 counts of money laundering.
The case was jointly initiated and prosecuted by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In its statement, the AMLC said the court sentenced Napoles to seven to 14 years of imprisonment for each count and ordered her to pay a fine of P94.15 million.
It added that the judgment of conviction may be subject to appeal.
This marks the second conviction secured by the AMLC against Napoles in connection with the pork barrel scam following a 2024 decision of Manila RTC Branch 24.
