Senate can grant immunity to Napoles to convince her to talk

UNLESS the Senate offers Janet Lim-Napoles, the alleged mastermind of the multi-billion peso pork barrel scam, immunity from prosecution, the senate blue ribbon committee investigating the anomaly will not get any crucial information from the controversial businesswoman, Senator Serge Osmena said Wednesday.

Osmena, the vice chair of the senate blue ribbon panel, said the he expects Napoles to invoke her right against self-incrimination which means the committee will not be able to force her to talk.
