TWO Chinese wanted by authorities in Beijing for fraud were arrested by immigration agents in Laguna last Tuesday.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said Sun Feng and Xia Yaqin were nabbed in Santa Rosa, Laguna by operatives from the bureau’s fugitive search unit (FSU).
Sun, according to Morente, has been the subject of a deportation order as early as March 2019.
Morente said information obtained from the Interpol’s national central bureau revealed that Sun is the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the municipal public security bureau in Jiangyin, China in January 2012 for fraud in connection with his involvement in an investment scam when he was a high-ranking officer of a Chinese government-owned bank 10 years ago.
Morente said that as director of the bank, Sun swindled his victims of around 145 million yuan, or roughly US$21.6 million, in a high-interest loan scheme.
