MANILA: Seven years after his 2018 acquittal in a case arising from the pork barrel scam, former Sen Ramon Revilla Jr is back in jail, this time for graft and malversation charges over a flood control project in Bulacan.

The Sandiganbayan anti-graft court on Tuesday (Jan 20) ordered the detention of Revilla at New Quezon City Jail following his surrender on Monday night.
