The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Tuesday confirmed that former broadcaster Jay Sonza has been arrested and detained due to a pending estafa filed against him.
Based on reports, Sonza was arrested while he was on his way to board a flight going to Hongkong at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) last week. He was being interviewed by the officials of the Bureau of Immigration when they found out about his pending estafa case.
The BI eventually detained Sonza after learning that there is an active warrant of arrest for him due to syndicated and large-scale illegal recruitment.
He was then transferred to the NBI's custody and later turned over to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).
The NBI shared a photo of Sonza's mugshot to the media.
