The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Monday night arrested a suspected member of an international credit card fraud syndicate in Iloilo City.
The NBI identified the suspect as Manuel Dumdum, a Filipino-American and a suspected member of the "Asian Boys" group that has an alleged link to the international group European Mafia.
Dumdum was arrested with a female companion, Marissa Yrezabal, during a raid conducted by the NBI in a subdivision in Mandurriao district on Monday night.
The NBI said Dumdum's arrest was a result of a three-month surveillance and background investigations.
Seized from the suspects were several identification cards, fake credit cards, computer equipment and other paraphernalia being used to create fake credit and ATM cards.
The NBI said Dumdum is involved in hacking ATM and credit card accounts.
It said the suspect was also arrested last year based on the same crime. It was not, however, clear how the suspect was able to get out of jail.
Charges for violation of Republic Act 8484 or The Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998 are being readied against the suspects.
