— A former Mongolian minister accused of corruption in his home country has been deported shortly after his arrest in Cebu City on Tuesday, the Bureau of Immigration reported.
The BI on Wednesday said its agents arrested Tunjin Badamjunai last April 4 after receiving information from Mongolian authorities that the suspect would be in Cebu.He faced deportation “as he is a fugitive from justice and thus poses clear and present danger, risk to public interest and safety, and threat to national security,” the bureau said.
The Mongolian government also cancelled his passport, which means he was an undocumented individual in the Philippines, Immigration Intelligence Chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. added."This is yet again a major arrest for our agents," Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco noted. "Rest assured that we will continue to hunt down these criminals and continue to strengthen our partnership with foreign counterparts to maintain public safety and security," he vowed.
