Philippines says China-centric Pogos ‘deeply’ linked to global crime rings
The Senate inquiry on so-called Philippine offshore gaming operators has established ties between these gambling operations and foreign criminal groups, Senator Risa Hontiveros told foreign correspondents. “We have seen numerous and deep links to transnational crime syndicates,” she said.
Philippine authorities have filed money-laundering and human trafficking complaints against Guo and her associates over their alleged connection with an illegal offshore gambling operation.
