AGENTS of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Office of the Cybercrime Division have arrested five South Korean nationals believed to be involved in online illegal gambling in Pasig City.
Korean nationals Cheonjo Kim, Ilhwan Yang, Wonsuo Yang, Jeonh Hyeok Kim and Moon Kyu Kang were caught in the act while operating online gambling.
The NBI said the suspects manage web pages for online sports betting, sports toto, and online casino. They allegedly use online gambling to launder money.
NBI chief Dante Gierran said they have already filed against the five suspects for violation of Presidential Decree 1602 (Prescribing Stiffer Penalties on Illegal Gambling) in relation to Section 6 of Republic Act 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012) before the Pasig City Prosecutor's Office.
