Wanted Korean nabbed for financial fraud
A South Korean fugitive, Jung Hyunjoon, wanted for alleged financial fraud, was apprehended by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) at NAIA Terminal 3 as he attempted to depart for China.
The BI discovered a red notice from Interpol against Jung during his departure processing, and BI-NAIA Terminal 3 chief supervisor Dennis Javier confirmed Jung's identity matched the red notice.
A Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for Jung for his alleged involvement in electronic financial fraud, and he is accused of conspiring with a voice phishing syndicate.
Jung's participation involved receiving five million won from a victim in 2022 in exchange for a five percent commission.
BI commissioner Atty. Joel Anthony Viado stated that Jung will be detained pending deportation proceedings as an undesirable alien and will be blacklisted from returning to the Philippines.
