Manila: Two foreigners arrested in separate operations are up for deportation, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported Friday.

According to Philippines News Agency, Indian national Lovepreet Singh, 24, was arrested in Antipolo City on April 10 while Xu Yinling, 35, was arrested on March 7 in Makati City. Singh was unable to present his passport and visa, classifying him as an undocumented alien. Additionally, the BI discovered his involvement in usurious lending activities.

Xu Yinling was targeted due to a detention warrant issued by the Beilun Branch of the Ningbo Public Security Bureau in China on March 24, 2022, for money laundering. Chinese authorities reported that Xu, along with several associates, facilitated the transfer of illicit proceeds through underground banking channels as part of a suspected money laundering operation.
