BI Spokesperson Dana Krizia Sandoval identified them as Fu Hanzhou, 42, male, and Huang Meizhen, 37, female, who were apprehended last Oct. 4 along Legarda Street, Binondo, Manila by the bureau’s fugitive search unit (FSU).
Ms. Sandoval said the duo will be deported for being undesirable and undocumented aliens, adding the agency has been asked by Chinese authorities to send back the suspects as their passports had already been canceled.
They are currently detained at the BI detention facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City pending their deportation.
According to FSU chief Bobby Raquepo, Fu and Huang were arrested a week after one of their alleged accomplices, 36-year-old Lian Lilong, was collared inside a hotel in Binondo.
Raquepo said the trio allegedly conspired with two other Chinese nationals in a credit card fraud scheme that victimized their compatriots.
The two remaining suspects are now the object of a continuing manhunt.
Summary deportation orders have already been issued against the five aliens upon the request of China’s Ministry of Public Security.
