MANILA, Philippines — A Polish national who is wanted in his home country for sex crimes was arrested by police and immigration agents in Siquijor island on Sunday.

Dariusz Zygmunt Ziolkowski was arrested by Siquijor police and personnel of the Department of Justice-Bureau of Immigration past 6 a.m. in Candanay Sur, Siquijor, Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas said Monday.

Ziolkowski is the subject of a warrant of arrest issued by the Polish Judiciary District Court of Wroclaw Fabryxzna on May 7, 2018, for sexual offense against a minor.

“Much as we welcome visitors to our country, foreigners who committed serious crimes in their own country, especially sexual offenders who prey on children will be apprehended immediately,” Sinas said.

He said it was a commitment to the international community to assist its foreign counterparts in arresting fugitives.
