who has a standing warrant of arrest in his country for drug
trafficking case, the BI said on Friday.
Stephanus Maria Schoellhorn was arrested after the German embassy in
Manila requested the authorities for his capture.
BI Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said the fugitive is detained at the
Bicutan immigration jail following his arrest last Oct. 19 in Puerto
Galera, Oriental Mindoro.
The German embassy immediately cancelled Schoellhorn's passport when
they learned through the German federal police of his whereabouts in
the Philippines.
According to David, a court in Baden-Baden, Germany has charged
Schoellhorn with seven counts of drug trafficking.
Schoellhorn's deportation order is expected to be released by the BI
board of commissioners within this week, David said.
It was learned that a team of German federal policemen will fly to
Manila to fetch and escort the fugitive back to Germany.
Lawyer Maria Antonette Bucasas-Mangrobang, BI intelligence chief,
disclosed that the German is married to a Filipina, thus he was able
to hide here for several months after fleeing his country to evade
prosecution for his crimes.
