BI asks PNP info, reports on arrest of 69 foreigners in Manila
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is awaiting the formal turnover of 69 foreign nationals arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) in an alleged scam hub in Malate, Manila.
The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group conducted the raid last Tuesday, apprehending the individuals who were reportedly involved in cryptocurrency scams targeting other foreigners.
The BI stated that they have not yet officially taken custody of the arrested foreigners, as they are waiting for the necessary documentation from the PNP.
These required documents include the suspects' identities and affidavits of arrest, which are essential for the BI to initiate the turnover process.
Once the official turnover is completed, the BI can refer any foreign victims of human trafficking among the arrested individuals to the Department of Justice's Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking.
