The Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines reported on August 23 the arrest of a 29-year-old South Korean woman suspected of being involved with 23 unnamed illegal iGaming websites, which have a turnover of approximately $3.85 billion.
The Incheon District Court issued an arrest warrant for her on April 22, 2025, and in June of the same year, Interpol placed her on an international wanted list by publishing a red notice.
According to information provided by Philippine authorities, the suspect served as the deputy head of customer support and oversaw operational divisions of a group based in offices in Pasay and Quezon City since November 2018. She entered the Philippines on a tourist visa and remained in the country illegally after it expired. Until a decision is made in her case, she has been placed in the bureau's temporary detention center.
