Several Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers have been relieved and face administrative sanctions for allegedly fabricating data that showed former Wirecard AG chief operating officer (COO) Jan Marsalek was in Cebu last month, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said on Satuday, July 4.

“The immigration officers who encoded these fictitious entries have been relieved and are now facing administrative sanctions,” Guevarra said.

“The investigation has now turned to the persons who made the false entries in the data base, their motives, and their cohorts,” he stated. “The BI has established that Jan Marsalek, former COO of Wirecard AG, did not arrive in the Philippines on June 23 based on CCTV footages, airline manifests, and other records,” the secretary said on Satuday.

Wirecard, which has been described as a German fintech firm, found itself in a scandal following the discovery of accounting irregularities which showed that there are US$2.1 billion missing.
