ROXAS CITY, Capiz – Several individuals victimized by alleged illegal recruitment here are waiting for the return of the Korean suspect who was arrested in Olongapo City.
A certain Jun said that he is eager to see Kim Tae Hyoung so that he could collect the more than P70,000 in placement fees he paid in exchange for a job in South Korea.
But according to Police Master Sergeant Ramil Arcangeles, spokesperson of the Roxas City police station, the police are waiting for the decision of the national Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) regarding the transfer of Hyoung to face the illegal recruitment charges filed against him here.
The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Olongapo and Zambales Field Units collared Hyoung and Cynthia Raboy on June 29, 2020 in an entrapment operation.
More than 200 individuals had accused Hyoung and his former Capiceña girlfriend Ramilyn Andrade of illegal recruitment.
Most of the victims underwent schooling on Korean language as one of the requirements before being accepted for jobs in South Korea.
The suspect is also facing several complaints before the Castillejos Municipal Police Station in Zambales regarding his alleged illegal recruitment activities.
