B.I. NABS UNDOCUMENTED INDIAN NATIONALS

THE Bureau of Immigration on Sunday announced the arrest of four Indian nationals in General Santos City, engaged in a “5-6” lending scheme in Mindanao, for being undocumented aliens. BI Commissioner Jaime H. Morente said the Indian nationals are undergoing deportation proceedings after they presented expired and invalid visas, and were found to be working as money lenders. The Indians are presently detained at the BI Immigration District Office in Davao City pending deportation proceedings. The BI initially arrested 10 Indian nationals during the operation but the six others were released after they have been found with valid visas.
