Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested a Chinese wanted by authorities in Beijing for trafficking illegal drugs.
The alien fugitive, identified as Ouyang Shixing, 40, was arrested on April 8 inside his condominium unit in Parañaque City by elements from the bureau’s fugitive search unit (FSU) headed by Rendel Ryan Sy.
BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval said the mission order for Ouyang’s arrest was issued after the BI received information from the Chinese government which shared details about the suspect’s crimes.
Based on Sy’s report, Sandoval said Ouyang is the subject of a red notice from the Interpol which was issued last year after he was indicted for drug trafficking in violation of China’s criminal laws, the BI chief added.
He has not left the country since he last arrived on August 3, 2023, thus he will be deported for being an undesirable and overstaying alien. He will be blacklisted and banned from re-entering the Philippines.
Information obtained from the BI-Interpol unit disclosed that Ouyang is subject of an arrest warrant issued in November 2023 by the public security bureau in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, China.
Investigators alleged that on May 12, 2023, Ouyang conspired with another suspect in purchasing methamphetamine from a drug supplier and later sold the substance to a buyer who paid them 70,000 yuan or nearly US$10,000.
Ouyang then took a train to Hongkong on Aug. 2of the same year and absconded with the money by fleeing to the Philippines shortly thereafter.
The fugitive is now detained at the BI custodial facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City pending deportation proceedings.
