Operatives of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) fugitive search unit arrested three aliens wanted for crimes in Japan.
BI fugitive search unit Rendel Ryan Sy reported the arrest of the first three suspects identified as Ueda Koji, 27, Kiyohara Jun, 29, and Suzuki Seiji, 29 inside a subdivision in Paranaque City.
The trio were arrested pursuant to a mission order issued by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco, after receiving information from the Japanese government about their crimes.
Records show that they have outstanding warrants of arrest since May 2024 issued by the Omiya Summary Court for Fraud in Violation of the Japanese Penal Code.
Meanwhile, Sy also reported the arrest of Sawada Masaya, 39, found to be at the premises of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.
Sy said all four subjects are said to be founding members of a telecom fraud syndicate based in Cambodia with criminal charges related to Unlawful Capture, Confinement, Extortion, and Fraud.
Tansingco said that all four are facing deportation charges for undesirability.
Meanwhile, the BI shared the recent deportation of Aoi Ikeda, 36, who was arrested last January 15 at the NAIA Terminal 3.
Ikeda was deported last June 26 to Osaka after the BI found him guilty of violation of immigration laws. As a consequence of his deportation, Ikeda’s name was included in the BI’s blacklist, effectively barring him from reentering the Philippines.
