(德国之声中文网)菲律宾移民局表示,在该国今年规模最大的非法网络博彩运营商打击行动中,菲律宾当局逮捕了200多名外籍工作人员,其中“大多数为中国公民”。

菲律宾政府于2024年全面禁止被称为“菲律宾离岸博彩运营商”(POGO)的网络博彩企业,理由是有组织犯罪集团利用这些平台作为人口贩运、洗钱、网络诈骗、绑架和谋杀等犯罪活动的掩护。

菲律宾移民局于周六深夜发布声明称,军方及其他执法机构周五突袭了南部棉兰老地区的两个地点。在其中一个地点,执法人员逮捕了110名中国公民、2名柬埔寨公民和1名香港居民。

在另一处行动地点,又有131名外籍人士被捕。这些被拘捕者“大多数是中国公民”,同时还包括来自马来西亚、印度尼西亚和缅甸的公民。

移民局表示,执法人员在行动中查获了“大量”电脑设备、手机、笔记本电脑以及SIM卡。

菲律宾政府正在调查部分被捕人员是否涉及与人口贩运相关的犯罪行为,其余人员则将被遣返出境。

“2026最大规模的缉查行动”

近年来,亚洲多国类似的网络诈骗中心持续引发国际社会关注。这类诈骗据点往往雇佣人口贩运受害者,通过欺骗或胁迫手段迫使他们推广虚假加密货币投资项目及实施其他诈骗活动。

菲律宾移民局局长乔尔·维亚多(Joel Viado)在声明中表示:“我们将继续严格执行移民法规,打击违反居留条件的外国公民,并确保菲律宾不会被用作非法活动的基地。”

他将此次行动称作“2026最大规模的POGO缉查行动”。

POGO 是 Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator 的缩写,这种博彩经营形式最初是被菲律宾当局所允许的,随着行业迅速扩张,执法部门发现大量POGO企业与犯罪活动存在关联,包括电信和网络诈骗、人口贩运、强迫劳动、非法拘禁和绑架勒索等。

2024年,菲律宾总统小马科斯宣布全面禁止POGO经营,此后菲律宾持续展开清剿行动,关闭大量博彩园区,并遣返涉案外国人员,其中不少为中国公民。

中国驻菲律宾大使馆发言人季凌鹏向法新社表示,中方正在就此案的具体情况与菲律宾执法部门进行沟通。

他补充说:“中国法律禁止任何形式的赌博活动,包括中国公民在境外参与赌博或为赌博公司工作。”

Although Xu Nan was only responsible for driving the car, he was still recognized by the court as a co-culprit. Because he was a repeat offender and denied the crime, he was sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in prison. The sentence was heavier than that of the other accomplices.
