Two Chinese wanted for crimes in their country arrested in Binondo

October 9, 2018

Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents  arrested last week two Chinese fugitives wanted by authorities in Beijing for involvement in economic crimes.

Immigration spokesperson Dana Krizia Sandoval said Tuesday arrested were Fu Hanzhou, 42, male, and Huang Meizhen, 37, female, who were apprehended last Oct. 4 along Legarda Street in Binondo, Manila by operatives from the Fugitive Search Unit (FSU).

Sandoval said both will be deported. She added they have received official communication from Chinese authorities that the passports of the duo were canceled.

They are detained at the BI Detention Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City while pending the implementation of their deportation.

According to FSU Chief Bobby Raquepo, Fu and Huang were arrested a week after one of their alleged accomplices, 36-year-old Lian Lilong, was apprehended inside his hotel room in Binondo.

Raquepo said the three arrested Chinese nationals allegedly conspired with two other suspects in a credit card fraud scheme that victimized many of their compatriots.

Two remaining suspects are still being located by FSU operatives.

It was learned that all five Chinese nationals were already issued summary deportation orders by the BI Board of Commissioners at the request of the China’s Ministry of Public Security.  DMS
