Three
Filipinos and a Malaysian were arrested in Jakarta, Indonesia
by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol)
for defrauding their clients in the Philippines, ABS-CBN News
learned yesterday.
ABS-CBN
correspondent Maan Macapagal said the Filipinos, identified
as Tagumpay Pablo Perez Kintanar, Joseph Luis Tomacruz Bismark,
Donna Marie Glenn Imson, and their alleged leader, Malaysian
Vijayeswaran Vijayaratnam, are facing a multi-million dollar
fraud case in the Philippines.
A
warrant for their arrest has been issued after two Filipino
victims filed a complaint against them. One of the complainants
lost $625,000 to the suspects.
The
suspects went into hiding after a manhunt was launched against
them. Interpol also placed them in its wanted list.
Lawyer
Ric Diaz, the National Bureau of Investigation's regional
director for criminal intelligence, said the suspects' company,
Gold Quest International, were able to victimize people across
Asia. Diaz added that the suspects had offices in the region's
financial districts.
