Japanese fugitives deported by BI
Two Japanese fugitives, Ito Shinya and Kawasaki Hiroyuki, were deported from the Philippines to Japan on March 3 aboard Japan Airlines flight JL746 bound for Narita, Japan, to face fraud and money laundering charges.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirmed their departure and stated they were arrested in coordination with Japanese authorities.
Both individuals are accused in Japan of utilizing shell corporations to launder illegal funds and fabricating documents on electronically or magnetically notarized deeds.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado emphasized the deportation as proof of stronger international cooperation against transnational crime.
The deportation aligns with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to enhance immigration enforcement and prevent the Philippines from becoming a haven for criminals.
