BI nabs South Korean fugitive in Intramuros
A South Korean fugitive, Bae Naseok, was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Manila while attempting to extend his tourist visa.
The BI's Fugitive Search Unit apprehended Bae after discovering he was on a watchlist and blacklist, and tagged as an undesirable alien and a threat to public safety.
Bae is wanted in South Korea for fraud offenses, including impersonating a victim's child via mobile messaging to gain access to their phone banking system.
He allegedly transferred approximately USD10,430 from the victim's bank account to his own through a compromised remote-controlled application.
An Interpol notice from Seoul confirmed Bae's fugitive status and the existence of a warrant of arrest against him in his home country.
