The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) issues a Red Notice for Maria Francesca “Mica” Tan, founder and CEO of MFT Group, following a request by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC says the Red Notice was published on May 25 and functions as a call to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a wanted person, pending extradition or other legal action.
The SEC statement also links the action to alleged involvement in a large-scale investment scam. Tan faces charges, including alleged violations of the Securities Regulation Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act, according to the reports.
The Red Notice is presented as part of ongoing efforts by authorities to bring Tan back to the Philippines to face the cases filed over the alleged scheme. The reports describe the notice as an international mechanism intended to facilitate cooperation among countries’ police and judicial systems while awaiting further legal steps such as extradition. No additional details about the alleged scheme or Tan’s response are included in the sources provided.
