SWEDISH FUGITIVE NA WANTED SA FRAUD, DINAKIP NG BI-FSU

ISANG Swedish national na wanted umano ng Finnish authorities dahil sa multiple fraud charges at subject ng Interpol Red Notice ang dinakip ng Bureau of Immigration (BI).

Sa kanyang ulat, sinabi ni BI Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) Chief Rendel Ryan Sy na si Andre Per Michael Palmqvist, 35, ay hinuli ng FSU operatives sa Barangay Banilad, Bacong, Negros Oriental.

Ayon kay Sy, “the operation followed a request from the Nordic Liaison Office in Manila, which alerted the BI to Palmqvist’s presence in the Philippines. ”

“Palmqvist is wanted by Finnish authorities for multiple fraud-related charges and is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice. Our unit acted on the information provided by our foreign counterparts and located him in Negros Oriental,” ani Sy.

Ang warrant ay nag-ugat umano sa kasong aggravated fraud at attempted aggravated fraud na isinampa ng Finnish authorities.

Diumano, “Palmqvist engaged in deceptive schemes to obtain unlawful financial benefits from his victims. In one case, he allegedly obtained rented property without intending or being able to pay the rental fees or return the items, causing the owner an estimated loss of €320,000,” ayon pa sa ulat ni Sy.

“In another case, he allegedly attempted to obtain tools, mobile phones, and fuel through similar fraudulent means, resulting in an additional estimated loss of €11,863 to the victim,” dagdag pa niya.

Base sa BI records, si Palmqvist ay huling pumasok ng Pilipinas noong August 21, 2022 at naging ‘overstaying’ na mula pa August 2025.

Kasalukuyan itong nakadetine sa BI Warden’s Facility sa Taguig City habang nahaharap sa deportation proceedings. (JERRY S. TAN)
