Today: High profile foreign fugitives are arrested and deported
SUSPECT #1: Gypsy Nirvana, marijuana dealer
Scene of the crime: Bicutan, Taguig City
The incident: The long arm of the law catches up with British fugitive Gypsy Nirvana, 53. After being on the run from US authorities for several years, he is now languishing in a jail cell at the Bureau of Immigration’s (BI) detention center awaiting deportation. The high profile marijuana grower, importer, and exporter will be escorted by a team of US Marshals. He faces multiple counts of narcotics trafficking and money laundering charges in the State of Maine. Nirvana was arrested at Subic Bay Freeport in Olongapo while operating his “business” remotely. How he manage to escape US soil and slip into the country is still a mystery.
WTH dude: You pass yourself off as a respectable British national and set up base in the Philippines for your criminal activities. For shame!
VERSUS
SUSPECTS #2 – 4: Zusuki Yuso, Takayachi Buszi, Tarashami Zeyta, currency smugglers
Scene of the crime: Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Pasay City
The incident: These three Japanese nationals will not be enjoying the Manila Bay sunset anytime soon. Local Customs officials received a tip from Japanese authorities that they were on their way to Manila and were smuggling US Dollar and Yen currencies. They were carrying over PHP50 million worth of foreign exchange. The three were met at the airport by one Mary Grace Portugues, a Filipina. Quick acting Customs cops arrested the three will be turning them over to Japanese authorities. Sayonara folks, we’d be very happy if you all stay behind bars!
WTH dude: Our economy thrives on foreign exchange, but not the illegal kind.
