BI warns vs human smuggling syndicateTHE Bureau of Immigration (BI) has warned the public against a human trafficking syndicate recruiting Filipino jobseekers for work in China. They are Kim Minkook, Yu Doohee, Lee Byungkon, Lee Seungho, Jo Joongwon, Choi Myoungsoo, Jang Hyoungjun, Kim Hansaem, Park Sungjun, Bae Mungwon, Lee Seungho (Seungho), Lee Yungyu, Hong Ukjin, Han Sang Seo, Park Yungjin, Kim Kyungjin and Kim Tawewon. Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente issued the warning on Thursday after Chinese immigration authorities deported a Filipina who fell victim to the syndicate. Morente has ordered the BI intelligence division to launch a manhunt for the Chinese woman who recruited the victim. He declined to reveal the suspect’s identity so as not to preempt the operation for her arrest by BI operatives.
