BUREAU of Immigration (BI) agents at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) arrested a Chinese passenger who is in the agency’s wanted list of foreigners for involvement in cyber fraud.
In a report to Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco, the BI port officers identified the passenger as 28-year-old Qin Xingye, who was intercepted at the NAIA terminal 3 last April 28 before he could board an Air Asia flight to Hongkong.
Qin was reportedly arrested after his name prompted a hit in the bureau’s derogatory check after he presented himself for clearance at the immigration departure counter.
“He was referred by the immigration officer to his supervisors who verified his identity and later confirmed that the passenger and the person in the bureau’s derogatory list are one and the same,” said Tansingco.
The derogatory hit showed that Qin was placed in the immigration blacklist for being an undesirable alien and for overstaying and illegally working in the country.
Qin is now detained at the BI warden facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City while awaiting deportation.
Information shared by the BI’s Border Control and Intelligence Unit (BCIU) showed that the passenger was previously charged for engaging in cyber fraud activities and for working without permit.
