A South Korean fugitive wanted by authorities in Seoul for supposedly engaging in telecommunications fraud was arrested in Angeles City, according to the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

In a statement, BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the Korean as Byun Jonghyun, 40.

He was arrested by operatives from the BI’s fugitive search unit (FSU) in Barangay Balibago on December 18.

According to the BI, Byun will be deported immediately as an order for his summary deportation was issued by the BI board of commissioners last September.

He was placed on the immigration blacklist and banned from reentering the Philippines for being an undesirable alien, Tansingco said.

According to BI-FSU acting chief Rendell Ryan Sy, Byun is also the subject of an Interpol red notice issued in April 2020.

The notice stemmed from an arrest warrant issued against the Korean by the Seoul central district court where he was charged with violating his country’s telecommunications business act.

Korean authorities alleged that Byun is a member of an organized crime syndicate based in Manila that defrauds their compatriots back home by engaging in voice phishing operations.

It is estimated that the syndicate’s earnings from the racket, amounting to more than 674 million won or roughly $500,000.
