Jad Dera, who is facing drug and murder charges, has been transferred to the Muntinlupa City Jail.
Dera was recently arrested after leaving the detention facility of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
The Muntinlupa Court ordered his transfer after the Department of Justice (DOJ) made the request. Reports said Dera was officially turned over to the Muntinlupa City Jail at 7:11 p.m. on Thursday.
Dera left the NBI facility past 6 p.m. and was guarded by numerous NBI agents during the transfer. Dera and several NBI security personnel were nabbed in June after he allegedly went out on a date with his escorts in tow.
Dera also confirmed claims that he was also able to go to Calatagan, Batangas and being able to go to Tagaytay City with other NBI officers.
The DOJ said it is “hellbent on making heads roll” over what happened.
