A KOREAN national wanted for large-scale fraud involving over P400 million was arrested by Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents in Pasay City.
The foreigner, identified as Nam Sungjin, was nabbed by members of the BI’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) in coordination with the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office of the Republic of Korea and the Philippine Air Force.

Nam was the subject of an arrest warrant issued last year by the Changwon District Court, Miryang Branch in South Korea for violating Article 347-(1) of the Korean Criminal Act, which covers fraud.
“Foreign fugitives attempting to use the Philippines as a safe haven will be located and deported,” said Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado.
