BI denies personnel accepted bribes for Alice Guo's escape

Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Joel Viado stated there is no proof that any BI personnel accepted bribes to facilitate the escape of Alice Guo and other high-profile individuals linked to POGOs.

Viado affirmed that Guo did not use official channels when departing the country, and the BI's internal investigation found that their terminal heads certified under oath that Guo did not pass through their terminals.

Despite surveillance and smartphone use, the BI has been seeking witnesses or evidence for four months, with no success so far.

The BI has reached out to counterparts in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore but received no response, and Hong Kong Immigration did not divulge information.

The BI suggested Guo might have used a backdoor exit in Tawi-Tawi to travel to Sabah, Malaysia, a route they believe former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque may have also used.

Viado pledged that the BI will act swiftly if any evidence supporting the bribery theory emerges.
