MANILA, Philippines – Immigration agents arrested a Korean national wanted in his homeland for fraud, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Friday.

BI Operations Division chief Grifton Medina said the suspect identified as Jang Hongsuk, 38, was about to board a flight to Seoul, Korea when he was apprehended by Immigration operatives on Aug. 9.

Seoul authorities reported to BI that Jang was involved in defrauding three people of more than 8.2 million won or $6,700.
