THE Philippine government pushed through on Wednesday with the deportation of two of the four Japanese fugitives being sought by Japanese authorities for various crimes in their country including robberies, fraud and theft.
Kiyoto and Toshiya were brought back to Japan via Japan Airlines flight 746, which was scheduled to leave the country at 9:40 a.m. “The Pasay Regional Trial Court Branch 109 released two orders dismissing the cases or upholding the motion to dismiss filed by prosecutors in the cases of the people of the Philippines versus Tomonobu Saito and Yuki Watanabe. So there is no more legal impediment to the deportation of the two Japanese fugitives and we expect them to be deported tomorrow morning at the same time as to what happened today when we deported the first two,” Remulla announced.
Watanabe has a summary deportation order dated May 28, 2021 for being an illegal entrant and a fugitive from justice in connection with the use of counterfeit documents and theft charges in Japan. “They will still have to deal with the government prosecutors and the Office of the Solicitor General to be able to file those motions because all prosecutions are under the control and supervision of the public prosecutors,” Remulla said.
