JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia has deported a dismissed Philippine town mayor accused in Manila of helping establish an illegal online gaming and scam center and evading an investigation by the Philippine Senate. Indonesian police arrested the dismissed mayor, Alice Guo, Tuesday in the outskirts of Jakarta. In exchange, Indonesian authorities hope that the Philippines will repatriate Australian Gregor Johann Haas, one of Indonesia’s most-wanted drug suspects. Guo was also accused of being a Chinese spy and of faking her Filipino citizenship. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. thanked Indonesia Wednesday for her arrest.
