2 foreigners nabbed in Manila for economic crimes in Beijing
Two Chinese nationals, Su Yan (47) and Hui Chi Lam (55), wanted in China for financial fraud, were apprehended by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Tondo, Manila.
The BI's Fugitive Search Unit arrested the duo on October 31 based on arrest warrants from China's Luxi County public security bureau.
Chinese authorities accuse Su and Hui of illegally selling financial products without proper permits, allegedly amassing over $8.2 million in profits since 2018.
Both individuals are also considered undesirable aliens for overstaying their tourist visas in the Philippines without applying for extensions.
The BI plans to deport the arrested Chinese nationals and blacklist them from re-entering the country.
