BI deports 2 high-profile fugitives
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) deported Japanese national Sasaki Yohei, 36, who is wanted in Japan for fraud involving over 3 million yen.
Yohei was arrested on October 1 in Quezon City and is accused of defrauding an elderly victim while working at a nursing home.
He is also believed to be a member of a Cambodia-based telecom fraud syndicate involved in various criminal activities, including kidnapping and extortion.
Yohei was deported aboard a Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo on the morning of December 9 and has been blacklisted by the BI.
Immigration Commissioner Joel Viado stated that the deportation demonstrates the Philippines' strong stance against illegal aliens evading arrest in their home countries.
