CRIMINAL complaints have been filed against Commissioner Siegfried Mison of the Bureau of Immigration before the Office of the Ombudsman for the alleged questionable release of an undocumented Chinese national.

A subordinate of Mison, intelligence officer Ricardo Cabochan, also filed complaints against  intelligence officers Wilson Soluren, Gary Baltazar and Arsenio Cantada; civilian agents Andres Sayoco and Aldrin Larrosa, and immigration detention facility acting warden L’Rev de la Cruz for gross violation of Republic Act 6713, or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officers and Employees.

He also accused Mison and company of violation of Sections 3(a), (e), (h) and (j) of Republic Act 3019 and other pertinent provisions and related statutes as well as relevant provisions in the Revised Penal Code under Article 223 or 224 concerning the infidelity of custody of prisoners.

The complaints arose from the release and disappearance of a Chinese alien, Fu Gaofeng, who was arrested for working in the Philippines without any working visa or permit.

According to Cabochan, a warrant of deportation was already issued on Fu Gaofeng.

“Respondents abetted, confederated and conspired with each other in order to ensure the release of the said individual despite the existence of a final warrant for deportation for undesirability under Section 69 of Republic Act 2711,” his complaint read.

Cabochan said he was reassigned to the Office of the Commissioner, alleging Mison has an axe to grind against him and that his reassignment was meant to harass him so he would retract his accusations.

Fu Gaofeng was nabbed at the Yinyi Philippines Investment Holding Group and was taken to the BI wardens facility in Bicutan, Taguig City.

“Despite the turnover, the person of Fu Gaofeng was never deported but in fact released and (is presently) nowhere to be found,” Cabochan said.

He claimed that  he personally verified that Fu Gaofeng was no longer in government custody.

He urged the Ombudsman to place Mison under preventive suspension.
