Taiwanese nat’l falls in Clark for fraud
THE Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported the arrest of a Taiwanese man wanted by authorities in Taipei for fraud.
In a statement, Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the fugitive as 26-year-old Che Szu-Han, who was arrested last May 31 at the Clark Freeport in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
Tansingco said operatives from the BI’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) arrested Che on the strength of a mission order which he issued upon request of the Taiwanese authorities.
“He will be deported after our board of commissioners issue the order for his summary deportation. He will be placed (on) our blacklist and banned from re-entering the Philippines,” the BI chief added.
BI-FSU acting chief Rendel Ryan Sy said a warrant for Chen’s arrest was issued against Chen in July last year by the Taipei district prosecutor’s office.
Taiwanese authorities have accused Chen of being a member of a criminal syndicate that siphons money collected from fraud victims which are deposited in bogus bank accounts.
Sy said Chen is also an “undocumented” alien as the Taiwanese government already canceled his passport.
He is currently detained at the BI warden facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City pending deportation proceedings.
