Two IT-related company representatives arrested for registering company establishment using false documents. The two were said to have asked North Korean IT engineers to handle tasks such as app development for orders from Japanese companies.

Police believe that some of the compensation paid by the companies may have flowed to the North Korean side. Police have not revealed the identity of the two men, who were arrested in Kanagawa Prefectural Police's capital, Hiroshima, on Tuesday. The men are suspected of submitting false documents to the Legal Affairs Bureau three years ago when establishing an IT- related company represented by Yuro Minoge.
