Authorities say the group operated a sports betting platform from a condominium complex in Cebu City for nearly five years.
The Philippines.- Police have arrested four South Korean nationals accused of operating illegal online gambling from a condominium complex in Cebu City. Police said it was a small but long-running offshore betting operation.
The arrests were carried out by the Philippine National Police’s Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG), following a search warrant issued by Branch 7 of the Cebu Regional Trial Court. According to ACG Director Brigadier General Wilson Asueta, an intelligence-driven investigation combined citizen tip offs, cyber patrol activities and on-the-ground surveillance. The suspects were identified by police as Song, 38; Kung, 35; Yun, 29; and Lun, 38.
Authorities believe the group had been running the online gambling operation for nearly five years through a website promoted on social media. The platform allegedly accepted wagers related to international sports competitions, including baseball and basketball.
ACG spokesperson Lt. Wallen Mae Arancillo said preliminary estimates suggest the operation generated at least PHP10m (US$170,000) in monthly betting activity. Investigators indicated that the operation functioned as a “mini-hub,” with multiple condominium units. Police said the suspects had been operating from the unit where they were arrested for more than a year.
