A 47-year-old suspect who had been wanted for deceiving a "sustainable benefit" provided by the state was arrested in Indonesia, and the suspect's family lied immediately after the benefit system began. After making the application, it was found by interviewing investigators that there was a suspicion that the scale of fraudulent receipts was expanded while increasing the number of members.

Mitsuhiro Taniguchi (47), whose address is unknown, was nominated nationwide for deceiving the national sustainability benefit of 3 million yen by applying for a lie that business income was significantly reduced due to the influence of the new coronavirus. Arrested and arrested by local police in Indonesia on the 8th of Japan time on suspicion of illegal stay.



It is believed that he and his ex-wife Rie Taniguchi (45), who was arrested on suspicion of fraud last month, and his two sons in their twenties were repeatedly receiving illegal benefits. Immediately after it started, I applied for a lie, and after that, I found out from interviews with investigators that there was a suspicion that the scale of fraudulent receipts was expanded while increasing the number of members.



As the number of holders increased through solicitation, it seems that other members began to request forgery of documents and online applications, and the number of false applications increased to more than 60 per day at most. It means that it was.



The Metropolitan Police Department is proceeding with the procedure for transferring Taniguchi to Japan, arresting him on suspicion of fraud, and investigating the details of the fact that he has received at least 900 million yen illegally so far.
