The agents failed to get him for the second time last Tuesday.

Hollander Edzart Pieter Jan Zwaal, 68, who reportedly lives in a pad here owned by a retired policeman, also eluded a team of BI agents in the first attempt to apprehend him.

The complainant, Fatima Alviar, 48, former OFW and Zwaal’s estranged live-in partner who resides in a subdivision here, expressed disappointment over the failure of the BI agents to arrest the foreigner, saying the Dutchman and his coddlers, including an ex-policeman, continued to pester her via calls and text messages.

Fatima recalled her experience with two BI agents, who allegedly demanded last year and got money from her as expenses for the arrest of Zwaal. But the two agents did not carry out the arrest order, she said.

But BI agent Jun Periera, a member of the new arresting team, said they searched thoroughly the rented pad of Zwaal last Friday and Tuesday but failed to find the Dutchman.

Despite the two failed attempts, Periera said they would press the efforts to look for Zwaal until he is arrested and brought to the BI office in Manila for investigation.

"We will relentlessly pursue him," he told the Manila Bulletin in Pilipino.

Commissioner Libanan issued on Feb. 28 a mission order (MO) for the arrest of Zwaal after meeting Fatima, who was accompanied by journalists to his office in Manila.
