Charlie ``Atong'' Ang

Charlie Tiu Hay Sy Ang, commonly referred to as Atong Ang, is a Filipino fugitive, businessman, gambling magnate known for his involvement in the jueteng and cockfighting industries. He gained national attention in 2000 when he became a co-accused in the impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada, and was issued an arrest warrant in April 2001 for plunder. Although he had fled from the Philippines during EDSA II, he was arrested by the FBI in the United States on November 25, 2001 upon an extradition request by the Philippine government, being detained for five years before his extradition to the Philippines in November 2006. After pleading guilty of indirect bribery in 2007, Ang served two years in prison before being released in May 2009.
