Bureau of Immigration (BI) operatives arrested a Polish national wanted in his country for drug-related crimes.
BI-fugitive search unit (FSU) Chief Rendel Ryan Sy identified the arrested foreigner as Mateusz Lukasz Pluta, who was cornered at Purok Uno, Can-asagan in San Juan, Siquijor.
Pluta was the subject of a mission order issued by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco after receiving information from the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime about his crimes.
He is reportedly wanted in Poland for counteracting drug addiction and offense against safety in traffic violation, in violation of the Polish penal code.
The Polish man will be temporarily held at the San Juan Police Station prior to his transfer to the BI’s facility in Bicutan, Taguig.
Pluta faces summary deportation proceedings after being tagged by his government as a fugitive.
He will be included in the BI’s blacklist to prevent him from returning.
