The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested a Chinese national, identified as a money launderer for illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
The 35-year-old foreign national was reportedly involved in assisting POGOs in the Philippines with the illicit transfer of funds, acting as a money launderer.
Furthermore, he has an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Qinhuangdao Public Security Bureau for fraud, in violation of Article 82 of the PRC Criminal Procedure Law, dated February 18.
He and his cohorts are said to have established a network that plays a key role in money laundering, coordinating with other fraud syndicates in mainland China to facilitate the transfer of illicit funds.
The BI’s Fugitive Search Unit apprehended the suspect on Roberts Street in Pasay City on March 4.
He is currently detained at the BI facility within Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig, awaiting his deportation.
