BI to deport 2 foreigners for being undesirable
THE Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported the arrest of two foreigners who are now facing deportation for being undesirable.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the arrested as South Korean Choe Young Sam, 45, and Liberian national Abundo Nual Johnson, 35, who were arrested on Tuesday in Mandaluyong and Taguig, respectively, by operatives of the BI’s fugitive search unit (FSU).
“They will be deported and placed in our blacklist of undesirable aliens to prevent them from re-entering the country. Their presence here poses a serious risk to public safety,” Tansingco said.
Reports said Choe is subject of an arrest warrant for embezzlement issued by the Wonnju branch of the of the Chuncheon district court in South Korea last year.
An Interpol red notice was also issued against the Korean in October last year due to a case of aggravated punishment, economic crimes and embezzlement that was lodged against him before the said court.
Choe and his accomplices, according to report, embezzled over 4.6 billion won, or more than $3.4 million, worth of medical reimbursements when he headed a financial team in Korea’s national health insurance program in 2004.
For Johnson, the police said the Liberian allegedly locked a Filipino woman in his apartment and sexually assaulted her.
The victim, whose identity was withheld, also stated in her verified complaint that Johnson extorted over P100,000 from her.
Investigation by the BI also bared the Liberian is an overstaying and illegally staying alien in the country as his student visa already expired in July last year.
