MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is deporting a Japanese fugitive wanted for trafficking Filipina nightclub entertainers to his country.

BI Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said Teruaki Nasu, 61, is now detained at the BI jail in Bicutan, Taguig following his arrest two weeks ago in San Pedro City, Laguna.

David said he ordered Nasu’s arrest at the request of the Japanese embassy which informed the BI about his activities in recruiting Filipina entertainers to Japan without the appropriate working visa.

Charges of violating Japan’s immigration and refugee recognition law and forging of public documents was filed against Nasu before the Omiya summary court in Saitama prefecture.

The Japanese embassy said the court issued an arrest warrant against Nasu in August last year.

Lawyer Antonette Mangrobang, BI acting intelligence chief, disclosed that Nasu was accused of using a non-profit organization which he chaired as a front in recruiting the Filipinas to work at a nightclub in Gyoda, allegedly owned by a certain Yoshimasa Matsuoka.

Nasu’s organization purportedly helps Filipinos who are children of Japanese nationals to travel to Japan and file lawsuits and claims for damages against their parents.
