Immigration agents arrested a South Korean wanted by authorities in Seoul for involvement in financial fraud.
The fugitive, You Hyun Tea was collared in his residence at Cordova, Cebu by operatives from the BI’s fugitive search unit (FSU).
You will soon be sent back to Korea as an order for his summary deportation was already issued by the BI board of commissioners in 2021.
“He was arrested on the strength of a deportation warrant that was issued pursuant to the said deportation order. He was also included in our immigration blacklist which perpetually barred him from re-entering the Philippines,” BI Chief Norman Tansingco said.
The Korean fugitive arrived in the country on May 30, 2003 and never departed for the past 21 years.
