Ipinag-utos ni Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II na ilagay sa Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) ang Japanese billionaire na si Kazuo Oakada, dahil sa kasong kriminal na kinakaharap nito sa Department of Justice (DoJ).
“Considering the gravity of the possible offenses he might have committed there is a strong possibility that he may attempt to place himself beyond the reach of the legal processes of the government by leaving the country,” paliwanag niya sa kanyang memorandum kay Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente.
“We thus deem the issuance of an ILBO against the subject person prudent in order to at least monitor the itineraries of his flight, travel, and/or whereabouts,” ayon sa kalihim.

Inaksiyunan ni Aguirre ang kahilingan ng mga abogado ng Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc. (TRLEI), na naghain ng reklamo laban kay Okada na inakusahan ng apat na bilang ng estafa at tatlong bilang ng perjury.
Ang TRLEI ang nagpapatakbo sa Okada Manila hotel and casino.
“Allegedly, the accused misappropriated a huge amount of money from TRLEI while he was the Chairman of its Board of Directors,” binanggit ni Aguirre.
“Moreover, he allegedly made perjurious statements in a complaint he filed against TRLEI with the Regional Trial Court of Paranaque City,” dagdag niya.
