The Bureau of Immigration (BI) ordered the deportation of two Chinese fugitives arrested in Cebu and Metro Manila.
The BI said to be deported are Zhu Yuanjiang and Ma Mingjie who were arrested in separate operations conducted by the BI’s fugitive search unit (FSU).
Zhu was cornered in Bgy, Umapad, Mandaue City while Ma was apprehended at his residence in a subdivision in Paranaque City.
It was learned that Zhu previously worked in Xinchuang Network Technology Inc., an online gaming hub in Pasay City that was raided by the local authorities in June last year for alleged engagement in various criminal activities such as human trafficking and cyber fraud.
Ma was arrested for being a wanted fugitive from justice in China where he is wanted for contract fraud.
A warrant for his arrest was reportedly issued by the Jiangbei district sub-bureau of the Public Security Bureau in Chongqing, China on Dec. 6, 2017.
Chinese authorities alleged that Ma and his cohorts deliberately tampered with bank accounts and account names of a point of sale (POS) machine merchant which resulted in the unauthorized transfer of over 58 million yuan, or more than US$8 million from China Minsheng Banking Corporation to his altered bank account.
