TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A Taiwanese fugitive wanted for fraud was one of five foreign nationals detained by the Philippines Bureau of Immigration over the past week, reports said Thursday (Dec. 12).

On its Facebook page, the bureau said its fugitive search unit had found a man surnamed Ye (葉), 32, in Pasay City, part of Metro Manila, on Dec. 8. Taichung district prosecutors had issued an arrest warrant for him as he had been indicted for fraud.

He was being detained at a bureau facility in Taguig City, another part of Metro Manila, pending deportation. The suspect will also be blacklisted to prevent him from returning to the Philippines.

Ye originally fled to Thailand in June last year, but the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) later found out he had moved to the Philippines, per CNA. The CIB supplied the relevant information to the Philippines Bureau of Immigration to make his arrest possible.

Ye was listed among five foreign suspects being picked up during the same week. The others were an extortion convict from the United States, a Chinese man allegedly involved in tax fraud, and two South Koreans charged with kidnapping a victim to work in Cambodia “as a model for indecent advertisements,” the bureau Facebook page said.
