Filipinos Arrested in Vietnam for Cheating Tourist


HCM City police have handed over two Filipino defendants, Marcos Alberto Olitoquit and Shery Baloicanas Rosaldo, to Hanoi police. The two defendants are accused of “swindling to appropriate property.”

These people had been hunted by Hanoi police from September 17, 2012, for snaring fool gambling to appropriate assets of a Japanese tourist.

According to the police, Marcos Alberto Olitoquit and Shery Baloicanas Rosaldo entered Vietnam for traveling. On April 2012, while wandering the streets of Hanoi, they met with a Japanese tourist, Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori.

The two Filipinos invited Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori to a house in Lane 126, Doc Ngu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.

Here they solicited Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori to play cards for money and the Japanese visitor agreed. They gambled all night. At nearly 2am, the two Filipinos proposed that all three players put their property and cards into an aluminum box, seal it and would play cards again after sleeping. Mr. Yamaguchi Takanori agreed and placed over $12,000, one mobile phone and other assets into the box.
