Two men wanted in South Korea for serious crimes were arrested by operatives from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Angeles City, Pampanga.
BI fugitive search unit (FSU) Chief Rendel Ryan Sy reported the arrest of Choi Suang Hwan and Kang Seunghoon in separate operations last April 24 in coordination with the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).
Choi, 53, was arrested in Barangay Anunas, Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City pursuant to a mission order issued by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco.
Choi has an outstanding warrant of arrest issued by the Seoul Eastern District Court in Korea for fraud reportedly amounting to 75.5 million South Korean won (P3.1 million) in violation of Article 347- (1) of the Criminal Act of the Republic of Korea.
His passport has already been revoked by the Korean government, making him an undocumented alien.
Meanwhile, Kang was arrested along Jose Abad Santos Ave., Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City after being tagged as a fugitive due to a warrant issued against him by the Incheon District Court in Korea.
He is wanted for fraud amounting to 850 million South Korean won (P35.7 million) in violation on Act on the aggravated crime Punishment of Specific economic Crimes (3)1 -2 of the Criminal Act of the Republic of Korea.
Both Choi and Kang will remain in the BI’s holding facility in Taguig pending the resolution of the deportation case against them.
