By Jun Ramirez Bureau of Immigration (BI) operatives have arrested an American fugitive wanted by US authorities for alleged distribution of child pornographic materials. BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said 40-year-old Gary Jaime Dokulil is now detained at the immigration detention cell in Taguig City following his arrest last Friday at his residence in Angeles City, Pampanga by operatives from the Bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU). Morente said the US embassy sought the BI’s help in locating Dokulil after US district court in the state of Minnesota issued a warrant for his arrest last January 17. “He will be deported for posing risk to public safety and security as his presence here presents a threat to our Filipino children,” Morente added. BI-FSU Chief Bobby Raquepo reported that Dokulil fled to the Philippines last January 11, or just six days before the court ordered his arrest. “He must have sensed his impending arrest, prompting him to flee,” Raquepo said. It was also gathered that on March 3, 1999 the Dakota County District Court in Minnesota convicted Dokulil on charges that he engaged in “terroristic threats.” The Minnesota terroristic threats law describes said offense as a crime of violence “in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience”. US federal agents are expected to fetch Dokulil in Manila as soon as the BI's board of commissioners issues the order for his summary deportation.
