BUSINESSWOMAN Janet Lim Napoles was convicted by the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court for graft and sentenced to 60 years in prison, according to its ruling that was handed down on Friday.

In a 57-page decision, the Sandiganbayan also ordered Napoles to return P20,910,000 to the National Treasury, which represented the amount 'wrongfully and illegally disbursed.

According to the ruling, Pingoy endorsed the Philippine Social Development Foundation Inc., a nongovernment organization that was controlled by Napoles for his district and was funded by his P20-million Priority Development Assistance Fund or 'pork barrel' allocation in 2007. This case earned Napoles the moniker 'pork barrel scam queen.
