Napoles asks Sandiganbayan: Why is Jinggoy out on bail?

MANILA, Philippines—If former senator Jinggoy Estrada was the main plunderer, why is he out on bail?

Napoles’ lawyers tried to untangle their client in the plunder case she shares with Estrada by arguing that the plunder complaint did not identify who the main plunderer was. In reply, the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division said there was no need to be explicit in the identity of the main plunderer in a case involving a public official because it is automatically the public official.

The Napoles camp kept harking back to the plunder case involving former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in which the court required the identification of the main plunderer because everyone involved was a government official.
