The elder brother of Michael Yang, former economic adviser of then President Rodrigo R. Duterte, has been arrested by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) at the Ninoy Aquino Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
In a statement, the BI said that Yang Jianxin, 54, was arrested at the NAIA Terminal 3 upon his arrival from Cagayan de Oro by operatives of the bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) in cooperation with the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC).
“Yang, who also uses the alias "Antonio Lim," was the subject of a mission order issued by the BI ordering his arrest,” the bureau said.
“He faces a deportation case for undesirability and misrepresentation, after allegedly misrepresenting himself as a Filipino and falsifying information regarding to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) certification of Phil Sanjia Corporation which he owns, as reported by the PAOCC,” it added.
Once deported, the BI said Yang will also be blacklisted.
But the BI said that “deportation will only commence upon the resolution of all pending cases in the Philippines.”
“Filipino employees of the said company (Phil Sanjia) were also said to have filed complaints for his non-remittance of their Social Security System (SSS), PAG-IBIG, and PhilHealth contributions,” it said.
With his arrest, “Yang was turned over to the custody of the PAOCC who will likewise conduct an investigation on the complaints they received.”
