Arestado sa Bureau of Immigration (BI) ang apat na banyagang sangkot sa telecommunications fraud, online gaming scams at iba pang iligal na aktibidad sa Angeles City, Pampanga.
Sa kanyang ulat, sinabi ni BI Intelligence Division Chief Fortunato Manahan, Jr. na kasama ang Regional Intelligence Operations Unit 3 (RIOU-3) operatives ay isinagawa ang enforcement operation nitong February 18 sa Barangay Pampang, Angeles City, natay sa impormasyon na sangkot ang mga banyaga sa telecommunication fraud, online gaming fraud at kidnapping-for-extortion scheme.
Kinilala ang dalawang Japanese nationals na sina Oi Riho, 27 at Moriyama Yu, 31. Kasama nila ang 42-anyos na Japanese national na si Kato Hiroaki at 32-anyos na Chinese national na si Wang Xinyu.
“The subjects failed to present passports or valid identification documents. Oi and Kato were found to be overstaying and undocumented aliens while Moriyama was cited for harboring illegal aliens and for being undocumented and Wang was charged for overstaying, being undocumented and for undesirability,” ani Manahan.
Sa pagsisiyasat kaharap ang Japanese Embassy representatives, ikinaila ng mga banyaga ang bintang ukol sa kidnaping subalit umamin sa scamming activities at online gaming fraud operations sa Angeles City.
Si Wang umano ang logistics head ng scam hub at responable sa pag-train ng personnel at pag-manage ng operational requirements.
“The subjects were apprised of their constitutional rights in a language they understood and were brought to the RIOU-3 office for documentation before being transferred to the BI Warden Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City,” ayon pa kay Manahan.
