MANILA: Singaporean Irene Low Ai Lian, who is in custody in the Philippines, is expected to hear today whether she will be prosecuted for violations under the country's child welfare code or set free, her lawyer said.
Police filed a complaint yesterday against Ms Low, 50, who runs an adoption agency in Singapore, and 12 other suspects, all Filipinos, for allegedly running an unlicensed children's home that put children up for adoption.
Ms Low and the others were taken into custody on Monday in a raid on a house in the town of Jalajala, a two-hour drive south of Manila. They appeared before a state prosecutor at a court in the Philippine capital yesterday.
