Dinakip ng mga opertiba ng Bureau of Immigration-fugitive search unit (BI) ang isang South Korean national na wanted sa sarili niyang bansa dahil diumano sa papel nito sa ‘sophisticated telecommunications fraud scheme’ na nakapambiktima na ng marami doon.
Ang fugitive na si Park Junhyeon, 44, ay dinakip ng FSU na pinamumunuan ni Rendel Ryan Sy noong June 28 sa kahabaan ng MacArthur Highway sa Barangay Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga.
Ayon kay Sy, ang operation ay isinagawa sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa South Korean authorities, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-National Capital Region (CIDG-NCR) at Department of Justice.
Si Park umano ay subject din ng Interpol Red Notice na inilabas noong May 7, 2026 kasunod ng isang warrant of arrestna ni-release naman ng Busan District Court sa South Korea para sa kasong fraud.
Ayon sa Korean authorities, “Park allegedly operated a fraudulent “no-show” scam with several accomplices, posing as a businessman who promised to reimburse victims for goods purchased on his behalf. Investigators said the scheme deceived seven victims through 24 fraudulent tra
Makikita umano sa BI records na si Park ay huling punmasok sa PIlipinas noong December 12, 2025 bilang temporary visitor at mula noon ay naging ‘overstaying’ na matapos mag-expire ang kanyang pananatili noong June 9, 2026.
“Park’s passport had earlier come into the custody of its Angeles Field Office after a representative filed an application to extend his stay. Authorities noted that Park did not personally appear during the processing of the application. He had already been placed on its watchlist as an undesirable alien due to his status as a fugitive from justice,” ani Sy.
Si Park ay sumasailalim umano sa booking and documentation procedures bago ilipat sa BI Warden Facility, kung saan siya mananatili habang naghihintay ng deportation proceedings. (JERRY S. TAN)
