MANILA — Now its Janet Lim-Napoles children’s turn to file a motion before the Sandiganbayan to defer the issuance of an arrest warrant and to dismiss the case for lack of merit.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Jo Christine and James Napoles filed a 47-page motion before the Sandiganbayan aiming to suspend the proceedings pending the resolution of their instant motion.<\/p>\n

Respondents on the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam insist in their motion that there is no probable cause for the issuance of an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

The two Napoles children, Jo Christine and James,claimed that they are not officers nor members of any of the bogus foundations of their mother Janet Lim-Napoles.<\/p>\n

They argued in their motion that there is also no proof that they signed documents related to pork barrel projects.<\/p>\n

“They were only dragged into this case by unfounded and sweeping verbal allegations made by the principal conspirators…” the motion read.<\/p>\n

Jo Christine and James Christopher are co-accused in the graft charges for their alleged involvement in the pork barrel scam.<\/p>\n

Facing plunder and graft cases are Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon Revilla Jr.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Ombudsman found probable cause to indict Revilla with one count of plunder and 16 counts of graft; Enrile with one count of plunder and 15 counts of graft; and Estrada with one count of plunder and 11 counts of graft. Also charged is alleged mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles.<\/p>\n

The pork barrel scam is an elaborate scheme of allegedly diverting billions of PDAF to ghost projects for kickbacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
