In the case in which the president of a real estate consulting company was arrested for defrauding a bank of loan funds for the purchase of an apartment, the Metropolitan Police Department also conspired with an employee of a newsagent to defraud approximately 270 million yen. He was re-arrested.
Three people were re-arrested, including Masaru Fujimoto (32), the president of a real estate consulting company, and Ryusei Yamaguchi (32), an employee.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, two years later, the three conspired with a 30-year-old employee of a Tokyo Shimbun store to prepare false withholding tax statements for this employee in order to obtain loans for acquiring land for the construction of apartments. However, he is suspected of fraud for defrauding banks in Tokyo of approximately 270 million yen.
In addition to falsifying a newsagent's employee ID card by falsely pretending that he was an employee of a major foreign financial institution, the employee also applied for a job by pretending to have tripled his salary and 120x his savings balance. We plan to file a case in the future.
President Fujimoto and others were arrested this month on suspicion of defrauding them out of 380 million yen using the same method, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the matter as having made more than a dozen fraudulent loan applications and defrauding them of more than 3.2 billion yen.
