BI nabs Chinese wanted for large-scale fraud
Zhao Jianfeng, a 28-year-old Chinese national, was arrested on June 28 in the Clark Freeport Zone, Mabalacat City, Pampanga.
He is wanted by Chinese authorities for his alleged involvement as a core member of a transnational criminal syndicate involved in telecommunication and online investment scams targeting Chinese citizens.
The syndicate members were reportedly based in the Philippines when the crimes were committed.
During the operation that led to Zhao's arrest, five other Chinese nationals identified as Song Genyuan, Wu Xinxu, Wen Jing, Xu Yongcheng, and Lin Jinyang were found allegedly operating computer workstations.
BI Commissioner Joel Viado stated that Zhao is part of a dangerous network that has defrauded victims and poses a threat to public safety.
He also emphasized that the Philippines is not a safe haven for foreign fugitives.
Zhao is in the Bureau of Immigration's custody and is facing deportation proceedings.
