Bernard Lu Chong Allegations
Police Seek Bernard Lu Chong In Connection To Drug Arrests. “Chong is currently the subject of a manhunt by Philippine police due to his ties to Fortuneyield Cargo Services Corporation (FCS), which is accused of trying to smuggle about 276 kilos (or around 608 pounds) of meth through Manila International Container Port three years ago. Chong is alleged to be one of the owners of Fortuneyield Cargo Services. A long resolution from Senior Deputy State Prosecutor Theodore Villanueva states that payments on the scale necessary for Fortuneyield to carry out a smuggling operation like the one busted three years ago could not occur “without the general manager’s knowledge and acquiescence”. Before the meth bust in 2019, Chong was also named in connection with a container smuggling operation worth about $1.25 million, for which he faces separate charges.” [PC Gamer]
Police Release Seven Page Probable Cause Case Against Lu Chong. “Branch 13 of the Manila Regional Trial Court issued the arrest warrant against Lu Chong for alleged violation of Section 4, Article 2, for the non-bailable importation of illegal drugs offense under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Senior Deputy State Prosecutor Theodore Villanueva declared in a seven-page resolution there’s probable cause against Lu Chong “as Fortuneyield paid P20,000 as container deposit and P76,807.50 for [the] freight.” “It would be impossible for these payments of significant amounts to be made without the general manager’s knowledge and acquiescence,” the resolution read.” [Daily Tribune]
