The Philippine authorities are hoping to take the former mayor back to Manila as early as Sept 5.
Former Philippine mayor Alice Guo was arrested close to midnight on Sept 3 inside a house in Tangerang City in the Greater Jakarta area.
The Philippine authorities say these online casinos have lured foreign workers, including Chinese nationals, with promises of legal jobs in the country, only to trick them into working for scam hubs. Guo is believed to be a Chinese national named Guo Hua Ping and is suspected of being a Chinese “asset”. Guo, however, maintains that she is a natural-born Philippine citizen and has denied all allegations against her.
Less than a week later, Guo, her siblings Shiela and Wesley Guo, and business associate Cassandra Li Ong managed to evade the Philippine authorities and used several boats to reach Malaysia on July 18, beforeThat Guo was able to slip out of the Philippines was likely because law enforcement authorities, who were required to closely monitor her movements, had issued only an immigration lookout bulletin order.
“The Indonesian government showed that it is bent on arresting illegal aliens, while these people were able to leave the Philippines because of the lapses of our own Bureau of Investigation,” said Mr Abante.Philippine Senate probes mayor linked to couple in Singapore’s $3b money laundering case
