The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is set to deport two fugitives, an American and a Korean, following separate arrests by the bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU). BI Commissioner Jaime H. Morente identified the American as Adrian Dean Eddings II, 44, who is facing a rape case in Oklahoma and was arrested on Feb. 13 in Lucena City in Quezon province. The Korean was identified as Lee Yun Sun, 48, who is wanted for drug trafficking in three different courts in Korea and was arrested on Feb. 14 in Caloocan City. Citing information from the Korean embassy, BI-FSU chief Bobby R. Raquepo said Mr. Lee allegedly smuggled several kilos of illegal drugs via air freight to the country. Mr. Lee had been in hiding in the Philippines for more than 11 years and has been in the BI’s wanted list since April 2018. — Vann Marlo M. Villegas
