The BI Fugitive Search Unit served Kwon with a warrant of arrest for conducting voice phishing scams, in which he duped his compatriots by pretending to offer low-interest loans in exchange for the victims' personal credit card information.
The arrest warrant served against Kwon was issued by the Seobu Branch of the Daegu District Court in Korea, dated April 2016.
It was also revealed that Kwon was an overstaying alien in the country. Records show that he entered the country in November 2018 and has not left since.
Kwon is currently incarcerated at the BI Detention Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City.
