In 2013, two years after the nuclear accident, we asked the restaurant owners in Iwaki City, Fukushima, to apply for compensation, and submitted a document stating that sales were reduced. Nine people, including Mr. Akira Gunji (50), unemployed in Sapporo, were arrested on suspicion of fraud, for misappropriating over 26 million yen.

Among the group, "Recruit Team" Ishii Tamae suspects (72) who spoke to the store owners visited the store many times and encouraged the store owners to apply for compensation. From interviews with investigators, it was found that a man named an employee of a subsidiary of TEPCO was present.

It means that group members seem to disguise employees to trust store owners.

In response to the investigation, 4 out of 9 confirmed the charges, 4 denied, and 1 was silent.
