DOJ issues lookout order vs Mighty Corporation owner

(Eagle News) — The Department of Justice on Thursday, March 9 issued an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) against the owner of the controversial tobacco firm Mighty Corporation and his brother due to their alleged involvement in tobacco smuggling.

In a memorandum dated March 7, the DOJ instructed the Bureau of Immigration to place on its lookout list Alex Wongchuking and Ceasar Wongchuking.

The tobacco corporation is facing allegations of smuggling for using fake Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) tax stamps on its products.

A person subject of the ILBO will be placed on lookout bulletin and cannot leave the country without first seeking an Allow Departure Order (ADO) from the DOJ chief.
