Investigators say eight Japanese people who were detained by local law enforcement authorities in the northern Philippines four years ago were suspected of being involved in a special fraud case that involved making false phone calls to Japan and defrauding elderly people of cash. I found this out through an interview with. The Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters will transfer the suspect to Japan on the 30th, arrest him, and proceed to uncover the reality of the group.
Four years ago, in February 2020, eight Japanese people in their 20s and 30s were detained by local investigative authorities for working at a hotel in a resort area in Laguna province in the northern Philippines, despite not having work visas. I did.
Numerous cell phones, computers, and manuals containing information on fraud techniques were found in the hotel room, and Japanese police authorities were investigating the case, suspecting that he was involved in a special type of fraud.
According to investigators, the eight individuals were suspected of being involved in special fraud cases in which elderly people were victims in Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka until they were arrested in February 2020. That means I understand.
According to the investigation so far, the eight people appear to have been ``callers'' who made false phone calls from the local area to elderly people in Japan.
Kanagawa Prefectural Police dispatched about 20 investigators to the area on the night of the 29th, and on the 30th they will transport eight people to Japan and arrest them, in order to uncover the true situation of the group.
