A 24-year-old resident was arrested for transferring part of the 46.3 million yen benefit that was mistakenly transferred from Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture to another account.
It is known that the residents repeatedly withdrew the benefits to three settlement agents, but one of them told investigators that more than 35 million yen was returned to the town's account. I found out in the interview.
Sho Taguchi, an unemployed person in Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, (24) settled from his account using an online payment service, knowing that the country's extraordinary special benefit of 46.3 million yen, which was transferred from the town, was mistakenly deposited last month. There is a suspicion of computer fraud, alleging that 4 million yen of this was transferred to the agency's account.
According to the police, he said to the investigation that "the money was spent at the online casino".
Taguchi has repeatedly withdrawn to three settlement agents since the transfer of 46.3 million yen, but on the 20th of this month after the arrest, one of them sent more than 35 million yen to the town account. I learned from interviews with investigators that it was returned.
Taguchi has withdrawn 27 times to this trader, and the full amount was returned.
Regarding this, the town says, "I would like to refrain from commenting."
