Court of Appeals freezes 415 Janet Napoles Bank Accounts

The Court of Appeals' (CA) reiterated its freeze order on 415 financial assets of businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles and associates, who are allegedly the brains of the pork barrel "scam."

On Saturday, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima pointed out that the CA freeze order covers a total of around 415 accounts. The details of those financial accounts are as follows:

344 bank accounts
66 insurance policies
5 possibly credit card accounts.

Out of the 415 accounts, De Lima said 107 are in the name of Janet Lim Napoles herself, also known as Janet Napoles Lim or Jenny Lim.

The frozen accounts are in 17 banks/banking institutions and 6 insurance companies.

The CA on Friday issued a 6-month freeze order on all of the bank accounts and related web of accounts of Napoles, members of her immediate family, other relatives and staff of the JLN group of companies, including accounts of non-government organizations allegedly allied with Napoles.
