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.
Dana Krizia Sandoval, BI spokesperson, said Yun had been in hiding in the Philippines for nearly 10 years.
Yun’s arrest was made upon the request of the Korean Embassy, Morente said. —Tina G. Santos
