MANILA, Philippines — Four Chinese and three Taiwanese fugitives have been arrested in Las Piñas City and will soon be deported, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said Thursday.
BI chief Norman Tansingco said Zhang Quanbao, Song Tianming, Yu Liming, Liu Jianxin, Li Yi Liyang, Huang Hsin-Chiang, and Lin Yue Hong were nabbed by the Philippine National Police and later turned over to the BI.
All of them, he noted, are allegedly working for a syndicate running an online gaming hub in the Philippines.
“We recently received information from their country that they are wanted fugitives. Hence a mission order was issued against them and they were arrested for being undesirable aliens,” Tansingco said in a statement.
According to the BI, the Public Security Bureau in China issued warrants of detention against Zhang, Song, Yu, and Liu for contract fraud, drug trafficking, telecom fraud, and theft, respectively.
