A Chinese fugitive who is wanted in his country for illegal drugs trafficking charges has been arrested in Paranaque City, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Wednesday, April 16. BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado identified the fugitive as Ouyang Shixing, 40, who was arrested by operatives of the BI’s Fugitive Search Unit (BI-FSU) at his condominium unit last April 8.
“He has not left the country since he last arrived here on Aug. 3, 2023, thus he will be deported for being an undesirable and overstaying alien,” Viado said. On top of deportation, Viado also said that Ouyang will be blacklisted and banned from re-entering the Philippines.
Viado cited that based on information received from the Chinese government, " Ouyang is the subject of a red notice from the Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) which was issued last year after he was indicted for drug trafficking in violation of China’s criminal laws.” He also said that “Ouyang is subject of an arrest warrant issued in November 2023 by the public security bureau in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, China.” Based on the information received, the BI said that "on May 12, 2023, Ouyang conspired with another suspect in purchasing methamphetamine from a drug supplier and later sold the substance to a buyer who paid them 70,000 yuan or nearly $10,000.
" “Ouyang then took a train to Hongkong on Aug. 2, 2023 and absconded with the money by fleeing to the Philippines shortly thereafter,” it added. Ouyang is now detained at the BI's facility in Taguig City pending his deportation.
