00:07One of them has been wanted for a long time.
00:09He was caught in his arrest in Makati.
00:12John Consulta, exclusive.
00:18On the side of this restaurant in Makati City,
00:21the people of the Bureau of Immigration Vigilance Search Unit and the Japanese Police
00:25ordered the target of Japanese Vigilance last week.
00:31You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.
00:34The officers of the Bureau of Immigration Vigilance Search Unit also arrested a chef
00:39who has been wanted for a long time because he was the leader of a crime group in Japan
00:44who was involved in a telecom scam.
00:46Like the Luffy Syndicate, there are call center agents here, scammers,
00:51who call their would-be victims in Japan, usually senior citizens,
00:57and they will get the details of the bank accounts.
01:00They will send people to the house of the senior citizen to get the ATM cards
01:06and that's where they steal money.
01:09I have a case?
01:10Yes, you're a member of the syndicate.
01:13Of Luffy.
01:15Me?
01:17Another Japanese national was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration
01:22in his house in San Pablo, Laguna.
01:24But when he was shown his picture, he refused.
01:28According to the Bureau of Immigration, he is one of the leaders of the Luffy group
01:31who are still here in the Philippines.
01:33He just changed his name so that he won't be arrested.
01:36This Japanese fugitive that we arrested is one of the leaders of the Luffy Syndicate.
01:43We were able to find out where he is hiding in Laguna.
01:46We are still trying to help the Japanese Police
01:50to arrest and deport the members of the Luffy Syndicate back to Japan
01:55because it's not too far for them to continue their operations here in the Philippines
02:01and for them to become victims in Japan.
02:03The Japanese fugitives were ordered to be deported
02:06so that they can face the charges against them.
02:09We are still trying to get their statements.
