Former Mayor Alice Guo Arrested in Indonesia
News summary

Alice Guo, a former mayor of Bamban in the Philippines, was apprehended by Indonesian authorities in Tangerang after evading a Senate investigation into her alleged involvement in establishing an illegal online gaming and scam center targeting clients in China. Her capture, which concluded a months-long manhunt, was a result of coordinated efforts between Indonesian and Filipino police. Guo, who fled the Philippines in July and was tracked through Malaysia and Singapore, faces multiple criminal charges upon her return. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. praised the cooperation with Indonesia and warned others attempting to escape justice. Reports indicate that in exchange for Guo's extradition, Indonesia is negotiating for the return of Australian drug suspect Gregor Johann Haas from the Philippines. Guo's case underscores ongoing concerns about illegal gambling operations in the region, particularly those linked to Chinese clientele.
