Local police and others held a press conference in the presence of the former vice president of a tourism farm management company in Okayama Prefecture, who was arrested in Indonesia and wanted internationally in connection with an investment fraud case involving the sale of fruits and other products to overseas markets. It has been revealed that an investigation is being conducted on the suspicion that he may have moved to multiple countries.
Yamazaki, the former vice president of Nishiyama Farm in Okayama Prefecture, was placed on an international warrant by the Japanese police through the Interpol (ICPO) for his involvement in an investment fraud case involving the sale of fruits and other products to overseas markets in Japan. Yusuke (43) was arrested by local authorities in January after attempting to illegally leave Indonesia for Malaysia on a boat.
On the 22nd, Indonesian police and immigration authorities held a press conference in the presence of the former vice president on the western island of Batam, near where he was detained.
At the press conference, police revealed that they are investigating the former vice president, who appears to have moved to six countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Turkey, and Indonesia, after leaving Japan four years ago.
In response to questions from reporters, the former vice president said about his life in Indonesia, ``I didn't do anything special, I stayed at home.''
Regarding ``Nishiyama Farm,'' former executives and solicitors were found guilty of violating investment laws for illegally collecting money from customers by offering investment opportunities for businesses that sell fruit overseas.
Police were investigating the former vice president for playing a central role in the incident.
