The CIDG filed new charges against a Chinese national arrested in May for alleged espionage activities, including illegal interception and misuse of devices.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has filed a new complaint against a suspected Chinese spy who was arrested in May in Makati City. The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) on Monday filed a complaint for illegal interception and misuse of devices in violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 against the Chinese. It can be recalled that the evidence obtained against the Chinese included thousands of suspicious photos, videos, and audio on his cellphone.
The suspected Chinese spy was arrested in Finlandia corner Codornico St. in Barangay San Isidro, Makati City. Suspicious applications, databases, call logs, and file documents were also found and were possibly obtained using an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) catcher, authorities said. According to the CIDG, an IMSI catcher is a type of interceptor device used to obtain sensitive information from cellphone users and can also be used for illegal activities. Earlier, a complaint was filed against the Chinese who was arrested for violating Republic Act 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act
