Law enforcement authorities of China and the Philippines have recently cooperated to repatriate a person suspected of loan fraud surnamed Wang, according to the Chinese Embassy in Philippines on Monday.

Wang submitted fraudulent application materials to obtain 100 million yuan ($14.5 million) in bank loans, causing massive financial losses. The person was apprehended after a decade on the run, per the embassy.

According to the embassy, law enforcement authorities of China and the Philippines will continue to deepen their cooperation to uphold the dignity of law and protect the public interest.

The embassy also reported in March that law enforcement authorities of the two countries have recently cooperated on the repatriation of another suspect, surnamed Zheng, who is alleged to have orchestrated the illegal crossing of national borders.

An investigation revealed that Zheng, for personal gain, organized citizens from the Philippines and other countries to enter China illegally through smuggling, fraudulent visa schemes, and other means, to provide housekeeping services. This led to problems such as illegal residence and illegal employment, seriously undermining social management order.
