Authorities have arrested the alleged finance officer of a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Bamban, Tarlac.
After months in hiding, Pan Meishu, the alleged finance officer of Zun Yuan Technology, was arrested while dining at a restaurant in Pasay City.
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), along with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, led the arrest of Meizhu.
Pan, a Chinese citizen, may face charges similar to those of former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, including human trafficking and money laundering.
PAOCC Executive Director Gilbert Cruz stated that Pan worked directly under Walter Wong Long, Guo’s co-accused.
Cruz added that they are still investigating other potential charges against Pan. Pan is currently in PAOCC custody.
