I'm wondering if I can return to my country under my circumstances? Is it okay to delete everything before returning? I've been in the Philippines for many years, and besides working in the spinach industry, I've also been involved in the domestic online yellow industry. Previously, I was careless and used my own and my relatives' Alipay accounts to receive payments from domestic customers. Most of my peers are in China and have been arrested repeatedly. After being released, they told me that the authorities had traced me but didn't pursue further since I was abroad. I might now be considered a major transnational mastermind behind the scenes (though I'm just a small agent, bearing the brunt of it). Last year, my local police station even received a notice from the authorities elsewhere, advising my relatives (who used their payment codes) not to move around much as there would be an investigation, but it never materialized. I thought it was all clear after that, and I haven't used their payment codes since. I've also canceled my own Alipay account and haven't received any more money from customers. Recently, I had someone inquire at the local police station, and I'm not listed as a fugitive. Can I return to my country under these circumstances, and is it okay to delete everything before I do? Since there was no crime committed and I'm not listed as a fugitive, I'm not very familiar with the domestic legal process, and I'm thinking about deleting everything just in case, to deny any charges if caught. My biggest fear is being directly implicated upon returning without being listed as a fugitive or them contacting my relatives, just scaring me into not returning.

You should ask a lawyer.

Why are you thinking about going back when you are just staying in the Philippines?

Everything is fine once deleted? Burying one's head in the sand. Better prepare to return the stolen goods to ensure safety.
