FBI releases ‘wanted’ posters of Quiboloy, two other church members
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued wanted posters for Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC), and two other church members, Teresita Dandan and Helen Panilag.
Quiboloy is accused of involvement in a labor trafficking scheme where church members were brought to the US on fraudulent visas to solicit donations for a fake charity.
These donations allegedly funded church operations and the opulent lifestyles of its leaders.
Successful solicitors were reportedly coerced into sham marriages or fraudulent student visas to prolong their solicitation activities in the US.
This development follows a November indictment against Quiboloy and other church officials for allegedly operating a sex-trafficking ring that preyed on victims as young as 12, threatening them with 'eternal damnation' and physical violence.
