Bureau of Immigration got 2 Interpol red-listed Koreans

By J.Lo

Bureau of Immigration (BI) is looking into apprehended two South Korean fugitives following red notices from Interpol and arrest warrants issued by South Korean courts.

Two foreign nationals were arrested on September 20, in separate operations, according to Immigration Officer-in-Charge Joel Viado. 

According to Interpol,  red notice is not  international arrest warrant but rather  request to law enforcement worldwide “to locate and arrest  person pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.”

One of the foreign nationals, Nam Sundong, 37, was apprehended at  residence in Manuyo Dos, Las Piñas City. 

Nam is wanted in South Korea for operating illegal gambling establishments, violating  country’s criminal laws.  District  court in Ulsan, South Korea issued  warrant for his arrest in 2023 and  Interpol Red Notice was subsequently released.

Other  Korean national, Lee Hyunhak, 23, was arrested on the same day along Jose Abad Santos Avenue in Clark Angeles City, Pampanga.

Lee was accused of drug smuggling, for allegedly conspiring to import 480.85 grams of methamphetamine,  ingredient for crystalized shabu into South Korea.

Smuggled  drugs were valued at more than 500,000 Korean Won (P208,000).

Lee’s arrest warrant was issued by  Busan District Court and  Interpol Red Notice was released earlier this month.

Passports  of both Korean nationals have also been revoked by  South Korean government. 

Pair  is currently in  custody of  Bureau of Immigration, staying in its detention facility in Bicutan, Taguig City while their deportation is pending.
