BI arrests Korean fugitive at NAIA

BUREAU of Immigration (BI) agents have arrested a Korean national wanted for a string of criminal cases in his country.

BI intelligence chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. identified the suspect as Kim Seonjeong, who was intercepted at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Manahan said Kim had just arrived via a Cebu Pacific flight from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam when he was accosted by elements of the BI’s border control and intelligence unit (BCIU).

Immigration supervisors alerted the BCIU agents after the BI officer who pro- cessed the Korean passenger’s name appeared in the Interpol database. Information obtained from the Interpol’s national central bureau (NCB) in Manila revealed that Kim was a convicted felon wanted in Korea to serve his sentence on fraud, inflicting physical injuries and drunken driving. Authorities asserted that sometime in October 2018, Kim defrauded a compatriot by enticing the victim to give him 30 million won, or nearly US$23,000, which he would repay in the amount of 100 million won within three months.
