A Filipino-American, who was once a sergeant in the United States (US) Air Force, will soon be deported by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to face bribery and extortion charges.

In a statement, BI Commissioner Marcelino Libanan said yesterday Rommel Isidera Schroer became a fugitive in the US when he reportedly tried to extort money from drug traffickers, who turned out to be Federal Bureau of Investigation agents.

The US Embassy sought the help of the BI in locating Schroer after learning that he is in the country. Libanan immediately issued a mission order against him. The BI agents were able to track him to his place of work at the Paseo Tesoro Building on Pasay Road, Makati City.

Schroer has to face charges of conspiracy to commit bribery and extortion pending against him before a district court in Arizona. If found guilty, he will be imprisoned for a maximum period of five years and meted a fine of $250,000.

He has been on the wanted list of US authorities since Oct. 18, 2006 when the Arizona court issued the arrest warrant against him. The US government has revoked his passport. He has been living in the country since Dec. 8, 2007.

american fugitives are now using RP is their gateway and hiding place. there are other fugitives who are caught living in RP for several years already.

Maybe if this guy faced the charges in 2006, the punishment was not as much as now kay nadugangan naman iyang offenses hinuon kay nag layas man sya.

murag dili kay same offense ra man iyang giatubang. wala may kaso sa pagtago kay dili man siya escapee.

Is that so?  Mura lang man sya gihapon ning escape kay wala man sya ning face sa charges.  hehehe simple mind ra kaayo ko!

lahi man siya ug nature. sakto nga murag escapee pero ang escapee is different from avoiding. nitago siya to avoid being caught unlike sa escapee nga nadakpan naka pero ni escape then nagtago. kana duna na nay bug-at nga silot kaysa nitago lang ka mahadlok dakpan. inig madakpan naka, kadtong kaso nga imong gitagoan mao ray imong atubangon.
