AGENTS of the Bureau of Immigration have arrested a 39-year-old American national who is being sought by authorities to stand trial for making threatening calls against an American politician and his associate in 2021.
The BI identified the fugitive as William Robert Braddock. Braddock previously aspired as the Republican candidate for the 13th Congressional District in Florida but later dropped out of the race. Braddock was arrested in a joint operation conducted by the BI Fugitive Search Unit and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Diplomatic Security Service-Overseas Criminal Investigations following an extensive surveillance.
He was collared by authorities along Roxas Boulevard, Ermita, Manila, last Friday. He was immediately transferred to the BI’s facility in Taguig where he will remain until his deportation. Braddock is wanted for Interstate Transmission of Threat to Injure, in violation of Section 875 of Title 18 of the United States Code, after allegedly making calls threatening to kill his political opponent, Anna Paulina Luna, a fellow Republican who was gunning for a congressional seat.Commissioner Norman G. Tansingco commended the BI’s role in apprehending fugitives and vowed to enhance the country’s cooperation with international partners to bring fugitives to justice.
