AGENTS of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested on Wednesday a male Polish national wanted in his country for drug-related crimes.
In a report to BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco, fugitive search unit (FSU) Chief Rendel Ryan Sy shared the arrest of Mateusz Lukasz Pluta, 27, at Purok Uno, Can-asagan in San Juan, Siquijor.
Pluta was the subject of a mission order issued by Tansingco after receiving information from the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime about his crimes.
He is reportedly wanted in Poland for counteracting drug addiction and offense against safety in traffic violation, in violation of the Polish penal code.
The Polish man will be temporarily held at the San Juan Police Station prior to his transfer to the BI’s facility in Bicutan, Taguig.
According to Tansingco, Pluta faces summary deportation proceedings after being tagged by his government as a fugitive.
Upon his expulsion from the country, he will be included in the BI’s blacklist to prevent him from returning.
