A former representative of the company recently left for the United Arab Emirates due to an incident in which a watch entrusted to an Osaka company that claims to be a luxury watch sharing service was sold without the owner's permission. It was learned from related parties and on-site interviews that he had obtained a residence permit last month.
There is a possibility that the former representative was preparing to leave the country in a planned manner, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department plans to arrange for the former representative to travel internationally and investigate his whereabouts.
This incident occurred at the end of January, when an Osaka-based company that operated a service called Tokematch, which mediates the sharing between owners of luxury watches and those who wish to borrow and use them, suddenly announced dissolution at the end of January. A large number of watches that had been stolen have not been returned.
The Metropolitan Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Takamasa Fukuhara (42), who was the representative of a company, on suspicion of embezzlement in the course of business and is wanted for selling a luxury Rolex watch to an antique dealer without the owner's permission. .
It has been revealed that former CEO Fukuhara left the country for Dubai, UAE with his acquaintances on January 31st, the same day the company announced its dissolution, but shortly after arriving in the country early last month, authorities in Dubai It has been newly learned through interviews with related parties and on-site that he had obtained a two-year residence permit since then.
Since it is necessary to submit documents in advance to obtain a residence permit, it is possible that former CEO Fukuhara was taking his time and systematically preparing to leave the country.
The Metropolitan Police Department will arrange for the former CEO to be sent internationally to investigate his whereabouts, and will also look into the details of the business, as watches that were entrusted to him just before the company's dissolution was announced were being sold one after another. I am planning to do so.
