Operatives of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested three foreign fugitives wanted for numerous crimes in Japan.
Arrested were identified as Ueda Koji, Kiyohara Jun and Suzuki Seiji, who were caught inside a subdivision in Paranaque City.
The trio were arrested pursuant to a mission order issued by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco, after receiving information from the Japanese government about their crimes.
Records show that they have outstanding warrants of arrest since May 2024 issued by the Omiya Summary Court for Fraud in Violation of the Japanese Penal Code.
BI Fugitive unit chief Rendel Sy also reported the arrest of another Japanese, Sawada Masaya, who was apprehended at the premises of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.
All four subjects are said to be founding members of a telecom fraud syndicate based in Cambodia with criminal charges related to Unlawful Capture, Confinement, Extortion, and Fraud. Tansingco said that all four are facing deportation charges for undesirability.
