美国要求菲律宾政府引渡教会领袖Apollo Carreon Quiboloy到美国接受审判,该人士因涉嫌性贩运儿童、欺诈等重罪而遭追捕[1]。美国的引渡请求于7月通过菲律宾外交部转交该国司法部[1],需获得菲律宾两所法院的批准方可执行[1]。
现年76岁的Quiboloy领导耶稣基督王国教会,该教会成立于1985年[1]。美国联邦检察官自2021年以来对其提起诉讼,控罪涉及与未成年少女发生性关系、儿童性贩运、欺诈和洗钱[1]。Quiboloy曾担任前菲律宾总统杜特尔特的灵修顾问[1],并被列入FBI十大通缉犯名单[1]。2024年9月,菲律宾警方出动约2000名警察突袭其占地30公顷的宗教团体驻地后,Quiboloy投降[1],目前仍被关押在马尼拉[1]。
The United States has requested that the Philippines extradite Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, a 76-year-old church leader accused of serious crimes including sex trafficking of minors, fraud, and money laundering [1]. Quiboloy, who leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church established in 1985, has been on the FBI's most-wanted list and was indicted by federal prosecutors beginning in 2021 [1]. The extradition request was transmitted to the Philippine Department of Justice through the country's foreign ministry in July [1].
Quiboloy, who previously served as a spiritual advisor to former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, was arrested in Manila in September 2024 after approximately 2,000 police officers raided his 30-hectare religious compound [1]. He has remained in detention since his surrender [1]. The US charges against him include sexual relations with underage girls, sex trafficking of children, fraud, and money laundering [1]. For the extradition to proceed, the request must receive approval from two Philippine courts [1].
