The Anti-Money Laundering Council announced on Thursday it has secured a freeze order from the Court of Appeals on the assets of key individuals linked to illicit Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator activities.
Key individuals identified include suspended Mayor Alice Leal Guo of Bamban Tarlac, Zhiyang Huang, and Baoying Lin. These individuals are suspected of orchestrating human trafficking and fraudulent activities through entities such as Zun Yuan Technology Inc., BAOFU Land Development Inc., and Hongsheng Gaming Technology Inc.
This major development follows extensive investigations and joint operations led by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission and the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in the government’s crackdown on illegitimate POGOs. The illicit activities linked to these individuals include the operation of an unauthorized POGO at Zun Yuan Technology Inc., which engaged in human trafficking, serious illegal detention, and online scam schemes. The operations were conducted within BAOFU Land Development Inc., which housed numerous workers, including trafficked individuals forced to participate in fraudulent online activities.
