The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested that the National Police Agency issue an order to return the passports of the former Toke Match representatives. The company's former president, Takayoshi Fukuhara (42), and former employee Daisuke Nagata (38) had taken a Rolex entrusted to them by a customer to an antique dealer.

An arrest warrant has been issued on suspicion of embezzlement in the course of business. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will continue to confirm the whereabouts of the suspect and make international arrangements for him.
