MANILA, Philippines—Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Friday she would oppose any move by the camp of alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles to put her under hospital arrest.

“It will depend upon her health condition. But on the side of the prosecution, as much as possible, we will block these kinds of moves,” De Lima said.
