Government officials say Alice Guo’s case has exposed vulnerabilities in the Philippines’ security apparatus, with analysts warning that corruptible networks within the government are its “Achilles' heel” in combating transnational crime.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A dismissed town mayor who fled the Philippines after being accused of helping establish an illegal online gaming and scam center catering mostly to clients in China has been arrested near Indonesia’s capital, officials said Wednesday.
Indonesian authorities had detained the sister and another known associate of Alice Guo, the fugitive former Philippine mayor accused of being a Chinese spy, days after evidence was revealed indicating Guo had fled the country in July.
A lawmaker last Friday claimed billions in “dirty money” had passed through the accounts of Guo, the mayor of Bamban in Tarlac province, as the government’s Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) ordered her and her associates’ assets frozen.
The National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) fingerprint examination found that Guo’s fingerprints were identical to those of a woman named Guo Hua Ping, her suspected real identity, who came to the country as a teen in 2003 with a Chinese passport.
