Philippine immigration authorities swooped down an office building in one of Manila’s business district and rounded up 17 South Korean fugitives accused of running an illegal online gambling den.

The raid of illegal gambling dens inside units 702 and 905 of One Corporate Center, Pasig City was the operation carried out by the Philippine government since President Rodrigo Duterte took over the country in July.

The  arrested 17 South Korean nationals were identified as 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.

It turned out that the arrested suspects were “fugitives from justice” who were facing criminal charges in South Korea for violation of National Sports Promotion Act and conspiring and operating an illegal gambling website/den.
