Philippine authorities, after recently completing the deportation of 93 Chinese nationals, still have 12 individuals pending processing. These individuals are also suspected of involvement in illegal offshore gambling operations and related criminal activities, but are temporarily staying in the Philippines due to unfinished judicial procedures.
It is understood that these 12 Chinese citizens were detained in a recent series of joint law enforcement actions by the Philippine government. Similar to those who have been deported, they are mainly suspected of participating in illegal POGO operations and associated criminal activities. Currently, these individuals are detained in designated facilities, waiting for further advancement of the relevant judicial procedures.
The Philippine President's Anti-Organized Crime Commission states that all foreign nationals suspected of illegal activities will be processed according to Philippine legal procedures. For those who have not yet completed judicial review, the authorities will continue to handle the cases according to the law, and decisions will be made after the procedures are completed, which may include deportation.
Law enforcement agencies reveal that the processing time for these cases depends on several factors, including the complexity of the cases, the situation of evidence collection, and the progress of the judicial system. Relevant departments are accelerating the processing pace to ensure that all cases are handled timely and fairly.
This series of law enforcement actions demonstrates the Philippine government's determination to combat transnational criminal activities. The authorities emphasize that they will continue to handle all foreign nationals suspected of illegal activities according to the law, and regardless of the final outcome, they will strictly follow legal procedures and principles of judicial fairness.
