DOJ says PH not a haven for int'l criminals after arrest of Japanese fraudster
The Philippines is set to implement stricter border control measures this year as announced by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla.
This intensified effort follows the arrest of a Japanese fugitive, Yokota Tetsuya, by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Binondo, Manila on January 2.
Tetsuya is wanted in Japan for scamming a compatriot of approximately 2.75 million yen through a fraudulent phone call related to nursing home entry.
Secretary Remulla emphasized that the Philippines will not be a haven for international criminals and warned undesirable aliens against attempting to exploit the country.
The arrested Japanese national will be deported and permanently blacklisted from re-entering the Philippines.
