A South Korean national wanted in his home country has been ordered to leave by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
The South Korean was identified as Choi Sunghee, 38, who departed the country last June 20 on board a Jeju Air flight bound for Incheon.
Commissioner Norman Tansingco shared that Korean authorities informed the BI about Choi’s cases. He was said to have set up illegal gambling websites that enticed users to bet on domestic and foreign sports. He reportedly received more than 16 billion won from the website’s members.
South Korean law states that no person, other than the Seoul Olympic Sports Promotion Foundation or an authorized entity, may issue sports betting tickets or similar things to win at betting.
Violators are punishable by imprisonment with labor for not more than seven years or face a fine not exceeding 70 million won.
Following the information, Choi is set to be blacklisted, perpetually banning him from re-entering the Philippines.
Commissioner Tansingco emphasized, “We greatly value our collaboration with foreign governments in combating transnational crimes and ensuring effective immigration control. Through these partnerships, we exchange vital information and work together to protect our borders from those who may seek to undermine our security.
3 Chinese involved in kidnapping arrested
Authorities in Pasay have arrested three Chinese nationals who were allegedly involved in kidnapping their compatriots who are also Chinese. Some of the victims had their fingers amputated.
In a report by John Consulta on GMA News “24 Oras” this Wednesday, the video shows the tragic condition of the blindfolded and handcuffed victims.
Some victims were also shown with their fingers cut off, and some had their toes amputated.
Some victims had their skin cut and put salt on it to make it hurt even more.
The videos of violence against the victims were allegedly found on the cellphone of one of the arrested suspects.
“They hit me all over the body with a baseball bat. Then they cut my skin, they salted my skin, they hit me all the time,” said one victim.
According to the National Bureau of Investigation, one of the rescued victims was reportedly being ransomed by the suspects for P100 million.
The ransom was reportedly reduced to P14 million, and the suspects took the victim’s expensive SUV.
When the suspects took the vehicle, they were arrested by the authorities.
