The Mimaropa police reported the arrest in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro of a South Korean fugitive wanted by the South Korean authorities for alleged financial fraud.
Mimaropa police chief Brig. Gen. Jovencio Badua Jr. identified the suspect as Hae Jung Chun, 63, who is hunted by the Interpol in connection with warrants issued by the Changwon District Court and the Seoul Central District Court, Republic of Korea, for alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act and the Electronic Financial Transactions Act.
“Let this serve as a clear warning: fugitives have no safe haven in MIMAROPA, as we will relentlessly pursue those who evade justice and strengthen coordination with national agencies and international partners to ensure they are located, arrested, and properly processed,” Badua said.
Hae has been turned over to the Bureau of Immigration, for proper documentation and processing prior to deportation.
