OPERATIVES of the Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit have arrested a German national wanted by Berlin law enforcement authorities for murder.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said 42-year-old Rilling Kenneth Napo was apprehended last Jan. 31 at his residence in Upper Poblacion in Tuba, Benguet.
Members of the Naval Intelligence Security Group Northern Luzon and Tuba municipal police station assisted the BI operatives in serving the warrant of arrest issued by Tansingco pursuant to a deportation order that the BI Board of Commissioners have earlier issued against the foreigner.
“We will thus send him back to Berlin as soon as the bureau secures the required clearances for his deportation from the court and National Bureau of Investigation,” Tansingco said.
He said Napo is already banned from re-entering the country due to his inclusion in the immigration blacklist of undesirable aliens.
BI-FSU acting chief Rendel Ryan Sy said Napo is subject of an arrest warrant issued by the Braunschweig county court in Germany on July 14, 2014.
He was accused of allegedly murdering his cousin by severing the victim’s body with a samurai sword before robbing the latter’s home of valuable items.
“German authorities later learned that he had fled to the Philippines even before the warrant was issued as BI records show he arrived in the country on July 12, 2014 and did not leave since then,” Sy said.
Napo is presently detained at the BI warden facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City while awaiting deportation.
