In the case where a 24-year-old resident 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, the police also put another 3 million yen in his account. The inhabitants were re-arrested on suspicion of being transferred from.
The person who was re-arrested was Sho Taguchi (24), an unemployed person in Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
According to the police, in April, 3 million yen was transferred to the account of the online payment agency, knowing that the special special benefit of the country transferred from Abu Town, totaling 46.3 million yen, was mistakenly deposited. However, there is a suspicion of computer fraud.
Taguchi was arrested last month for transferring 4 million yen out of the 46.3 million yen benefit transferred from the town to the account of a settlement agent in the same way.
In response to the investigation, he admitted the charges and stated that "the money was spent at the online casino".
In addition, according to the investigation so far, he stated that he wanted to release the stress accumulated by interacting with the town staff and that he thought that hopefully he could make more money.
Of the 46.3 million yen that was mistakenly transferred, Abu Town collected about 90%, or more than 42.9 million yen, by foreclosure.
