Another Korean fugitive nabbed
BUREAU of Immigration (BI) officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) arrested another South Korean national who was a wanted fugitive in his country.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the passenger as Sin Man Seung, 54, who was intercepted at the NAIA Terminal 1 on June 21 while he was about to board a flight to Busan, South Korea.
Sin was stopped from leaving after his name prompted a positive hit in the BI’s Interpol system while being processed at the immigration departure counter.
Korean authorities alleged that between October 2018 to July 2019, Sin enticed a victim to invest in a casino business by falsely promising the latter a 10 percent interest in addition to the repayment of the principal loan.
However, the Sin reneged on his promise and instead fled to the Philippines after defrauding the victim of more than 820 million won, or nearly US$600,000.
