The former mayor of Bamban town in the Philippines, Alice Guo, also known as Guo Hua Ping, has been arrested in Indonesia for allegedly having links to Chinese criminal syndicates. Guo, who is wanted for refusing to attend a congressional probe on her alleged criminal ties, denies the accusations and insists she is a natural-born Philippine citizen facing “malicious accusations.” Authorities in the Philippines have filed multiple counts of money laundering against Guo and 35 others, alleging that they laundered over 100 million pesos ($1.8 million) in proceeds from criminal activities.
After fleeing the country in July and traveling to Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, Guo was arrested in Jakarta. A Senate probe into her affairs revealed scams being perpetrated from a facility partially owned by Guo, including human trafficking victims, luxury villas, high-end cars, and expensive cognac. Guo’s conflicting statements about her childhood and questionable election records have led to suspicions that she could be a Chinese spy or criminal. Despite these allegations, Guo maintains that she is a natural-born Filipino and not a spy.
