Bureau of Immigration (BI) operatives have arrested a Chinese national who allegedly misrepresented herself as a Filipino.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said Li Xinlei, 51, was apprehended inside the Pasay City Hall compound by members of the BI’s intelligence division (ID), where she is scheduled to attend a hearing on a separate case.

According to ID chief Fortunato Manahan, Jr., Li is a fugitive from justice, subject of an arrest warrant in China for economic crimes.

“When our agents arrested her, she was unable to show proper documentation and misrepresented herself as a Filipino using a fraudulently acquired Philippine passport,” said Manahan.

“This is a significant arrest for the BI as Li is included in the list of wanted criminals sought by the Chinese government,” Manahan said. (Jun Ramirez)
