Government operatives in the Philippines capital city, Manila have arrested two Liberian nationals for allegedly swindling an individual to purchase chemicals that will convert a special paper money into US dollars. NBI Director Dante Gierran said the suspects gave the complainant securely wrapped package with a machine that allegedly combines a special chemical with paper which turns it into US dollars. When the suspects asked another $90,000 balance, the complainant reported the matter before the NBI, he added. With this, the NBI-SAU operatives conducted an entrapment operation resulting in the arrest of the Liberian nationals. The suspects were presented for inquest proceedings before the Office of the City Prosecutor of Manila.
