Shinjuku Ward requests refund for false reporting of number of employees at an organization run by schoolchildren and others. The Ward reported that the number of staff members was falsely reported from 2018 to 7 last year, when records were kept.

We investigated the amount of money that the corporation had received unfairly up until February. As a result, on the 28th, we requested a refund of 198 million yen, including business outsourcing costs and expenses incurred in investigating work conditions. The Shinjuku Children's Center said, ``We are disappointed that a fraud involving children has occurred''
