10 charged for scrap metal scam � Nation � News | Philippine News | philstar.com: MANILA, Philippines - Five foreigners and five Filipinos are facing charges for their alleged involvement in a 10-year-old scam in which an international syndicate shipped junk instead of scrap metal for which the buyers paid millions.
Director Samuel Pagdilao Jr., chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, said yesterday the syndicate is headed by two Singaporeans and a Briton based in Hong Kong. He said the other members include Filipinos, Taiwanese and Chinese.
“We believe we’ve done a great job in identifying those involved and establishing bank account and financial activities of the syndicate, which has been operating for about 10 years now and victimized foreign businessmen,” Pagdilao said in a press conference.
