Korean fugitive now behind bars
A South Korean national, Jang Seong Woong, wanted for serious physical injury and kidnapping, was apprehended in Pasay City by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
The arrest was a collaborative effort involving the NBI, Bureau of Immigration, Korean National Police Agency, and the Philippine Air Force.
Woong is implicated in a violent incident where he and other gang members allegedly assaulted an individual over gambling debts.
An Interpol Red Notice and a warrant of arrest from the Daegu District Court were issued against the fugitive.
The Korean Embassy in the Philippines declared Woong an undesirable alien posing a risk to public safety.
He had been in the Philippines since May 1, 2017, with his visa most recently extended until January 28, 2020.
