MANILA, Philippines — A 28-year-old Chinese was arrested by immigration officers on allegations of cyber fraud and overstaying in the country.
In a statement yesterday, Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Norman Tansingco said that Qin Xingye was intercepted at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, where he was supposed to board a flight to Hong Kong.
Qin presented himself for clearance at the immigration departure counter and his name appeared in the bureau’s blacklist for being an undesirable alien, overstaying and illegally working in the country.
According to the BI’s Border Control and Intelligence Unit, Qin was previously charged with cyber fraud and for working without a permit.
He is currently detained at the BI warden facility at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig while awaiting deportation.
