NBI operatives interrogated Guo on Sept. 5 while waiting for clearance from Indonesia’s immigration authorities.

She was questioned about a notarized document, her reported use of a doppelgänger and an NBI clearance issued in her name.

NBI assistant director for investigation service Lito Magno then showed Guo a photo of a woman resembling her and asked if it was her.

Guo denied being the person in the photo, claiming it was a member of her staff, whom she jokingly referred to as a “slimmer version” of herself.
