Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents have arrested in Pampanga a Japanese fugitive wanted in his country for alleged complicity in multiple crimes.
Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said the fugitive, identified as Tsukita Yuhei, was nabbed along Fields Ave. in Brgy. Balibago, Angeles City by operatives of the bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU).
“We are deporting him for being an undesirable alien, and his name will be included in our blacklist which would ban him from re-entering the country,” Viado said.
FSU chief Rendel Ryan Sy said a warrant for Yuhei’s arrest was issued by a Tokyo summary court on Oct. 27, 2022 after he was charged with theft in violation of Japan’s Penal Code.
