MANILA, Philippines — A Japanese national, who was arrested for forging documents to sell other people’s property, will soon be deported, according to the Bureau of Immigration (BI). In a statement issued on Thursday, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente identified the suspect as Misao Koyama, 59, who was arrested on Dec. 19 on Gonzalo Puyat Street in Manila during a joint operation of BI Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) and the Tokyo Interpol. ADVERTISEMENTMorente said Koyama, also known as Misao Kaminsukaso, would be deported to Japan to face charges for allegedly forging documents to sell people’s lands without their consent. BI FSU Chief Bobby Raquepo said that Koyama was the leader of an eight-man fraud ring accused of selling people’s property by using forged land deals. “Japanese authorities sought our assistance in locating and deporting Koyama as he has a standing warrant of arrest for fraud,” Raquepo said.
