A Japanese fugitive wanted in Tokyo, Japan for multi-million dollar electronic fraud scam was nabbed by Immigration agents in Binangonan, Rizal.
Keiji Yuasa ‘s passport was already canceled by the Japanese government in November last year and was declared undesirable for being a risk to public safety and security, Commissioner Jaime Morente said.
“A team of Japanese policemen will be in Manila to fetch and escort Yuasa to Tokyo where he will stand trial for his crimes,” Morente said, adding that the alien was included in the BI blacklist to prevent him from re-entering the Philippines.
According to Atty. Jose Carlitos Licas, BI-FSU head, a Japanese court has issued an arrest warrant against Yuasa for allegedly embezzling 400 million yen or more than US$3.8 million in an electronic scam which he committed while working for a Japanese bank.
