BI deports 7 Chinese fugitives

MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has deported seven Chinese nationals, including fugitives from justice and those without the necessary permits and visas.

The Chinese nationals were also placed under the bureau’s blacklist to perpetually ban them from reentering the Philippines.

BI Port Operations Chief Grifton Medina said the aliens were deported on two separate flights of China Southern Airlines bound for Xiamen on Thursday and Friday.

Four of the deportees, identified as Yong, Li Jia, Ye Bin and Wang Xuening, are fugitives for economic crimes in China. The three others, Xu Xiansheng, Gong Yaan and Xie Yuhong, were engaged in unauthorized black sand mining operations in Masinloc, Zambales.
