MANILA, Philippines – The Bureau of Immigration (BI) confirmed on Sunday, March 9, that high-profile South Korean fugitive Na Ikhyeon was re-arrested in Pampanga, five days after his escape.
Na broke out on March 4 while attending a hearing for an estafa case at the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
Also arrested was Kang Changbeom, another South Korean national wanted for fraud. Authorities said intelligence reports and CCTV footage confirmed Kang’s role in helping Na escape.
The BI, along with other law enforcement agencies, tracked the fugitives down and took them back into custody.
