A 24-year-old resident living in the town was arrested for transferring a part of the 46.3 million yen benefit that was mistakenly transferred from Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture to another account. I learned from an interview with the people concerned that I was talking.
Sho Taguchi, a 24-year-old unemployed person in Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, used an online payment service to make his own account, knowing that he had mistakenly deposited the special special benefit of 46.3 million yen from the town in April. There is a suspicion of computer fraud, saying that 4 million yen of this amount was transferred to the account of the payment agent.
On the 20th, police sent Taguchi's identity to the Yamaguchi District Public Prosecutors Office and searched his home.
According to people familiar with the matter, Taguchi was withdrawing the full amount of 46.3 million yen that was transferred 34 times during the 11 days from April 8th to 18th, when the town mistakenly transferred it. I spent the money at multiple online casinos overseas. "
The police are investigating the flow of money in more detail by analyzing the seized smartphones.
