The Department of Justice on Friday said it terminated businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles’ provisional admission to its witness protection program.

Secretary Menardo Guevarra issued a letter to Napoles through her counsel to give notice of the termination effective on Friday, a press statement from the DOJ read.

“As there has been no further claim of threats to her personal security inside Camp Bagong Diwa, the Secretary of Justice has found no reason to extend further Ms. Napoles’ provisional coverage under the Witness Protection Program,” it read.

Napoles, the alleged mastermind in the multibillion-peso scam that used lawmakers’ pork barrel funds, has been “provisionally covered” by the program since February 27. Lawyers subsequently requested her transfer to the custody of the DOJ. (ABS-CBN News)
