I transferred it to the accounts of two households.
On the 22nd, Abu Town revealed that the benefits could not be collected even two weeks after the transfer.
This was revealed at a press conference by Mayor Norihiko Hanada of Abu Town on the 22nd.
On the 8th of this month, Abu Town mistakenly transferred a total of 46.3 million yen to the account of one household, which is a benefit for 463 households whose lives are in need due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Residents with an account "The deposited money is moving and irreversible"
After that, I was trying to proceed with the procedure for returning with the inhabitants who have this account, but it was said that I could not contact this inhabitant from the middle.
On the 21st, when I met the residents in person and asked for a return, they said, "The deposited money is moving. I can't get it back and I will pay for my sins."
Abu Town is considering future measures while consulting with the police and lawyers to collect the benefits, and Mayor Hanada said, "I told the townspeople that this happened at the height of my grief. I sincerely apologize. "
