BUREAU of Immigration (BI) operatives on Thursday arrested a Chinese woman allegedly involved with illegal POGO operations.
BI intelligence division chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. shared the arrest of Pan Meishu aka Hannah, 49, inside a hotpot restaurant in Pasay City.
Pan reportedly has links to illegal offshore gaming operations of Zun Yuan Technology in Bamban, Tarlac which was previously raided by authorities for alleged criminal and human trafficking activities.
Zun Yuan, formerly known as Hongsheng Gaming Technology Inc., is part of investigations related to former Bamban Mayor Alice Leal Guo.
BI, together with government intelligence forces, conducted the operation after confirming her presence in the area.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado hailed the arrest, stating that the operation is just one of many more to come targeting illegal aliens working in scam hubs.
“These companies doing illegal activities have no place in the country,” said Viado. “Expect more arrests as we crackdown on illegal POGO operations,” he added.
Viado said that the suspect will remain in the custody of the BI while undergoing deportation proceedings.
