Chinese woman who faked nationality to become Philippines mayor jailed for trafficking
MANILA: A Philippine court on Thursday sentenced Alice Guo, a Chinese national who became a mayor while masquerading as a Filipino, and seven others to life in prison on human trafficking charges, state prosecutors said. Guo, who served as mayor of a town north of Manila, was found guilty of overseeing a Chinese-operated online gambling center where hundreds of people were forced to run scams or risk torture. The sprawling complex, which included office buildings, luxury villas and a large swimming pool, was raided in March 2024 after a Vietnamese worker escaped and called police.
