Don't know if this was on everybody's radar but this is quite a blow on the Aman futures group issue.

If this is really true, then the people behind the justice department might get a tougher time in making an arrest and detain him if he invokes his Malaysia roots. Also, for everybody's benefit,we don't have an extradition treaty with Malaysia. No wonder that he fled to Malaysia and official police ties were unable to track him.

I think there is connivance with the police authority there. Because at first when they apprehended the criminal, they say he is holding fake malasian passport because he is not malaysian. I think when they know that he's hiding a billion of money, that reason they hold him back because there is money involved...

Well,money is often the cause of many things. the guy stole a ton of money from his investors (form a various countries at that). But the people involved are syaing he is still at apprehended which bring onyl a small comfort and a lot room of doubt.

Well as far as our laws are concerned if he has a parent that is Filipino Citizen then he is a Filipino Citizen. The only thing that holds him there is that it seems there are Malaysians who also has complains against him and Malaysian Government is compelled to detain him further there so that he could answer those complaints filed against him. We cannot interfere with that. It was reported earlier that he was holding fake Malaysian documents making him illegal alien in there which could have made him instantly deported to our country. But it seems he has some connections there that the only way to hold him in the country is to have someone complain against him so that he can stay there longer.

actually he was captured by citizens from Mindanao and he wasn't properly arrested by the Malaysian police. when he was arrested, the Malaysian police informed NBI and PNP. He was issued a Philippine passport because he was born here (if I am correct he is a Filipino citizen due to jus loci, Tarlac specifically). But I haven't heard anything from his defense yet.

DOJ and DFA should go hand in hand in bringing back this guy to the Philippines to face the people whose been victims of his big scam company. Regardless of roots or nationality he should suffer the consequences of making people fool about their money.

Yes but there will be technicalities. If we wish to secure him for justice, the govenrment should be aware of any argument agaisnt his prosecution and eliminate them. that way, he can stand trial in our country without question.

Latest reports say the Malaysian authorities prevented Amarillo's return to Philippines because there are Malaysians who also complained about being victimized. Whatever is the truth, looks like Amarillo will stay in Malaysia, either to be prosecuted, or protected.
Meanwhile, those who were victimized may have to wait a long time to get back some of their money, if at all the money will be returned.

Must be frustration for the victims here. I mean, he shoudl have a sheet in Malaysia if he also scammed people there. I guess it's not too clever to hide in a country where you also have a rpa sheet.

He really should. People have invested almost of their money and trusted them out of good will. I think if the mob have its way somersetting really bad will happen that moments his victim see him.
