Careless Music CEO Jeffrey Oh, James Reid's business partner and Liza Soberano’s new manager, was reportedly arrested for operating businesses in the country without legal documents.
According to Veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin, the authorities visited Oh in his home in Makati.
"Yun pong bagong manager ni Liza Soberano na si Jeffrey Oh ay pinuntahan ng mga alagad ng batas sa kanyang opisina sa Poblacion Makati," Cristy said in a show she hosts on her YouTube channel.
"Baka ipa-deport itong Jeffrey Oh na ito. Haharap siya sa deportation. Papaano, hiningi ang mga dokumento sa kanya, wala pala siyang mga papeles na nagsasabi at nagbibigay ng kalayaan sa kanya to operate business in the Philippines.
She also added that Oh has no Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration.
Cristy said that the Korean-American businessman also faces charges from James Reid's father, Malcolm Reid.
"Sa dami ng nagrereklamo, isa pala ang tatay ni James Reid sa nagrereklamo laban dito kay Jeffrey Oh," she said.
"Dahil 'yung pera ng anak niya, dahil parang sosyo sila [ni James] 'di ba? Hindi nakakarating kay James Reid 'yung kaukulang pangako na perang ibibigay bilang partner," she added.
According to reports, Jeffrey is currently detained at the Bureau of Immigration.
