"Let's buy a mask ..." Re-enter Japan Japan Wanted Chinese arrested February 12 at 18:43

Interviews with investigators revealed that a Chinese man who had been wanted abroad for fraud and fled abroad was re-entered from Kansai Airport and arrested. In response to the investigation, the police have been examining the details of the fact that he has stated that he has returned to Japan to buy a mask.

In February last year, a Chinese chef Zhang Zhiqiang (22) used a cash card tricked from a woman in her 80s in Minato-ku, Osaka and used cash at a convenience store ATM to withdraw cash of about 1.4 million yen. He was wanted on suspicion.

She fled abroad, but according to investigators, she was re-entered Kansai Airport this month and was arrested by police.

In response to the investigation, he stated that he had returned to Japan to buy a mask for his acquaintance because a new type of coronavirus infection was spreading in China and masks were not available.

On the other hand, the police are examining the details of whether they were trying to purchase large quantities for resale, because they had brought an empty suitcase.
