AICHI, Aug 21 (News On Japan) –
Aichi prefectural police arrested 29 Japanese women and men on Wednesday on suspicion of tried fraud, following their detention at a facility in Cambodia believed to be a hub for organized scams.
Arrest warrants had been executed aboard a constitution flight from Phnom Penh International Airport to Chubu Airport in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture.
The operation marked the most important variety of fraud-related suspects ever repatriated to Japan in a single switch from abroad. Police plan to step up investigations to uncover the construction and operations of the suspected rip-off base.
The group arrived at Chubu Airport on August twentieth. Many wore T-shirts and shorts, preserving their faces down as they had been escorted by investigators into transport automobiles.
