Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said its operatives have arrested two nationals from the People’s Republic of China (PROC) who are wanted by authorities there for involvement in serious crimes.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the two alien fugitives were arrested on June 19, in separate operations conducted by elements of the BI Fugitive Search Unit (BI-FSU) in the cities of Parañaque and Pasay.
They were identified as Zhu Tingyun, 43, who was arrested at his residence in Bgy. Tambo, Parañaque, and Wang Yun, 30, who was collared along Metrobank Avenue, Pasay.
“We will deport them to China so they can stand trial for their alleged crimes, and they will remain in our blacklist to prevent them from re-entering the Philippines,” Tansingco said.
The BI Chief added that both fugitives are already overstaying as they have been hiding here for years to evade prosecution for their crimes. Their passports were also been revoked by the Chinese government.
According to the Chinese Embassy in Manila, Zhu has an outstanding warrant of arrest issued by the Public Security Bureau in Cangwu County, Guangxi, China.
He was accused of running a syndicate that operated an online gambling site which catered to Chinese customers whose total bets since 2016 reported amounted to over 30 billion Chinese yuan, or roughly US$4.1 billion.
It was learned that Zhu will soon be sent back to China as an order for his deportation for being an undesirable alien was already issued by the BI last year.
As for Wang, he is subject of an arrest warrant issued by the Public Security Bureau Jinjiang City for alleged involvement in kidnapping.
Both aliens are now detained at the BI Warden Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City while awaiting deportation.
