MIKEY, WIFE PLACED ON IMMIGRATION WATCHLIST

The Department of Justice (DOJ) yesterday placed Ang Galing Pinoy party-list Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo and wife Angela on the watchlist of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in connection with the P73.85-million tax evasion suit they are facing.

In issuing Watchlist Order No. 394, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the issuance of the order is based on the “mandate of DOJ to administer the criminal justice system” and the “interest of the public and in order not to frustrate the ends of justice.”
