THE BUREAU of Immigration (BI) Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) arrested on April 25 two Chinese nationals wanted for cyber crime in Beijing. In a statement, BI Commissioner Jaime H. Morente identified the two as Hong Webin, 34, and Li Cheng, 36, who were nabbed in a condominium in Mandaluyong City. “We will send them back to China as soon their deportation orders are issued. Their continued presence here poses a threat to public safety and security,” Mr. Morente said, adding that the two will also be blacklisted. The Chinese embassy provided information that the suspects were wanted in China for the distribution of obscene materials online and engagement in illegal propaganda. BI-FSU Chief Bobby R. Raquepo said the Chinese nationals have been hiding in the country since October 2018 when they entered to Manila as tourist. — Vann Marlo M. Villegas
