00:00A Japanese man was arrested in Pampanga by a member of a syndicate that operates in the Philippines.
00:07The arrest of the suspect, who is being used by another person so that he won't be arrested, was carried out by John Consulta.
00:15The interview for those who will apply to be the GRO of a Japanese national was conducted on his arrest in Angeles, Pampanga.
00:27We are agents of the Bureau of Immigration, we are working with a BNP intelligence group.
00:33Do you understand why you are under arrest?
00:35I don't.
00:36You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you.
00:39The 29-year-old Japanese man, who is a member of a notorious Luffy criminal group, is innocent.
00:45This is a syndicate that operates in the Philippines.
00:48But due to a lot of fraud, theft, and other telecommunications frauds in Japan,
00:54the arrest in Pampanga was not easy.
00:57We only had a confidential informant and that's why we were able to find out where he is hiding.
01:03We also identified that he is one of the members of the Luffy group syndicate that we are looking for.
01:11A Peking barangay ID was recovered in Dayuan using his portrait, but his name was changed.
01:18He ran to Pampanga and used other people to hide the crime he committed.
01:24This Luffy group syndicate set up an office here where they scam senior citizens in Japan.
01:35They get the ATMs of their victims.
01:38In an incident, one of their victims died in Japan.
01:45The suspect, who is now in jail at the B.I. Retention Facility in Camp Bagong Tiwa, has not yet been released.
01:50We want to know if they are involved in any local cases.
01:54If we can be clear that they are not involved in any other cases, we can deport them back to Japan.
