One of the two foreigners who were rescued by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) during a raid in Parañaque City on Feb. 26, turned out to be a fugitive wanted in Taiwan for fraud.
AKG director Brig. Gen. Ruldolph Dimas said they discovered that Li-You Ci is a Taiwanese and is wanted at the course of the investigation after the rescue operation in Parañaque City where three of his captors were killed in a brief gunbattle.

"We immediately served the arrest warrant for her after verification. Documentation will be undertaken prior to her turnover to the Bureau of Immigration for the deportation proceedings," said Dimas.
Li was kidnapped by a group of Chinese armed men in Pasay City. She was then kept in a safe house of the suspects while negotiations for her release were being conducted
The warrant of arrest was issued by the Taiwan Kinmen District Prosecutors Office and was served on March 1,
The AKG, however, could not provide details as to why Li is bing sought by Taiwanese authorities.
Dimas, however, assured that the kidnapping case will still be filed and remain strong against the suspects despite the deportation of Li.
