The two people arrested were former employees of the Sapporo National Taxation Bureau, Keisuke Endo (45) in Toyohira-ku, Sapporo, and Unemployed in Neyagawa, Osaka, and Shotaro Osaki (22).
According to the police, the two men were asked by a man in Asahikawa to suspect that he had handed over approximately 30 grams of cannabis for tens of thousands of yen around March, and that he has violated the cannabis control law. It means that they all admit the charges.
