Agents of the Bureau of Immigration have arrested two Chinese nationals known as the “Baccarat Boys,” wanted in China for operating illegal online gambling websites.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado identified the suspects as Wu Huifu and Li Yong, who were apprehended in Barangay Tambo, Parañaque City on December 2.

Wu is reportedly wanted by China’s Binzhou Public Security Bureau for running multiple gambling platforms that victimized around 500,000 players with more than 8.6 million yuan in illicit proceeds.
Li is said to be Wu’s assistant and is likewise facing arrest in China.
Viado warned that the government will not allow illegal gaming operations to return, especially after Wu’s previous stint in a banned POGO firm.
