BI nabs Korean fugitive in hiding for 10 years in PH
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is set to deport a Korean national for allegedly swindling more than 42.2 million won from fellow Koreans by pretending to be a journalist.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said the 39-year-old Yun Jong-sik was arrested last week in Guadalupe, Makati City, by operatives of the bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit.
Yun is wanted for a string of fraud cases in South Korea.
