At the age of 66, he offered a fictitious fund called "Funds for Developing Core Industries," and said that he had cheated 130 million yen in cash from a man who was a company officer living in Kanagawa prefecture, by telling him that "procedures needed money". Three men were arrested on suspicion of fraud. Other men have also invested more than 3 billion yen, and police are investigating the suspected deception.
The three persons arrested were Kaoru Muto (66), an unemployed man in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and 79-year-old and 59-year-old men.
According to the police, the three people asked a 70-year-old man, a company officer living in Kanagawa prefecture, to provide fictitious funding called "Funds for developing core industries," and lied for three years, saying, "I need money for the procedure." There is a suspicion of fraud as he tricked men into cash of 130 million yen last September.
He explained to the man about the "Funds for Fostering Core Industries", saying that he "funds from the gold and silver brought out overseas when the war was defeated," and told that he could provide 280 billion yen.
According to the investigation so far, the man got acquainted with Suspect Muto through another financial broker, and because it is transferring more than 3 billion yen to the other, police are suspected of being deceived.
Police have not disclosed the pros and cons of the three.
