Chief Superintendent Reuben Theodore Sindac, PNP Public Information Office chief, said Enrile would undergo his booking at the PNP Multipurpose Hall.

Enrile came from his home in Dasmarinas Village in Makati City.

Enrile is facing plunder and graft charges for allegedly pocketing P172.8 million in kickbacks from businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, the alleged mastermind behind the pork barrel scam. The arrest order is for the plunder charge, a non-bailable offense.

His co-accused Senators Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada surrendered to authorities and has since been detained at the PNP Custodial Center.
