Emilio Changco Criminal
Emilio Changco was a pirate gang leader based out of Manila Bay in the Philippines. He was responsible for many of the ships that went missing in the area. He specialized in piracy-for-order, where a client would choose a ship and the Changco Gang would seize it, transfer the cargo, and then sell the ship. He was captured and imprisoned by Philippine authorities. In 1992 he was killed by law-enforcement agents under suspicious circumstances. Philippine government officials claim that he was shot while trying to escape from the New Bilibid Prison.
