Following an inquiry into her alleged criminal actions, Alice Guo vanished in July. Since then, the Philippine authorities have been seeking her across four countries.
She has been charged with shielding internet casinos in her slumbering pig farming hamlet of Bamban from being fronts for human trafficking organizations and fraud centers.
Ms. Guo disputes the claims. She would be flown back to the Philippines as early as Wednesday, according to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Her fingerprints matched those of a Chinese national, according to MPs looking into the fraud center operations. She claimed to have grown up on the family farm with her Chinese father and Filipina mother.
Due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her case, which have sparked national indignation and attracted attention from abroad, her sister has now been detained and questioned by the Philippine Senate.
As China and the Philippines continue to argue over reefs and outcrops in the South China Sea, Ms. Guo’s case has come to a conclusion.
China has not responded to the accusations leveled against her.
According to the authorities, Ms. Guo eluded border patrols in July and traveled to Indonesia via many boats, passing through Singapore and neighboring Malaysia. She was apprehended on Tuesday at the western border of the country’s capital, Jakarta.
