Senate lifts contempt order for Shiela Guo, orders transfer to BI

On Tuesday, the Senate committee lifted the contempt order against Shiela Guo, who was arrested in Indonesia and held in detention since August 21, and ordered her transfer to the Bureau of Immigration.

Senator Risa Hontiveros announced that Shiela Guo's custody would be transferred to the BI following a mission order issued by the bureau during the Senate probe into Alice's fake identity and ties to illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) in Central Luzon.

Shiela Guo, also known as Zhang Mier, faces charges for disobeying a Senate summons and using a fake Philippine passport, as well as money laundering charges alongside her sister and other POGO personalities.

She was cited for contempt due to her absence at the Senate probes regarding her connections with POGOs, where she is identified as an incorporator in businesses linked to Alice's operations.

Shiela recently admitted that Alice Guo is not actually her 'sister'.
