Chinese national arrested for posing as 'fixer' for PAOCC
Three Chinese nationals were arrested in Pasay City by the CIDG Southern Police District Field Unit and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) in an entrapment operation.
One of the arrested individuals, Changao He, allegedly posed as a fixer with connections to PAOCC, demanding P5 million from a complainant for the release of a Chinese detainee.
The complainant paid the initial amount, but the detainee was not released, and the suspect then demanded an additional P2 million, prompting the victim to seek police assistance.
Two other Chinese nationals were apprehended for attempting to prevent the arrest of Changao He.
During the investigation, one of the suspects was found to have military photos on his phone and admitted to being a former member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).
PAOCC stated that their office has been impersonated before to extort money, particularly concerning the release of POGO workers.
