Authorities arrested four Korean nationals during a raid on a condominium in Barangay Sta. Cruz, Porac, Pampanga, for running an illegal online gambling operation allegedly.

Operatives of the National Bureau of Investigation – Pampanga District Office (NBI-PAMDO) and the Philippine Air Force Military Intelligence launched the operation after confirming that the establishment was being used for unlicensed online gambling activities.

Authorities confiscated various computer devices and gambling paraphernalia.

Further investigation, with assistance from Interpol, the Korean Embassy, and the Korean National Police Agency, revealed that two of the individuals arrested were fugitives with Interpol Red Notices.

The suspects have yet to issue a statement.
