A total of four people, one from Japan and one from Taiwan, who are believed to have committed special fraud based in Thailand, were arrested by local police, and a 4-year-old Japan suspect will soon be transferred to Japan by plane. The police plan to arrest him on suspicion of fraud and will proceed with the clarification of the actual situation of special fraud.
In October, Thai police received information from Japan and Taiwanese investigators about a special fraud group based in Thailand, searched the base in an upscale residential area near the capital Bangkok, and arrested Daisuke Ogawa, 10, and two other Japan nationals and two people from Taiwan.
Among them, Ogawa, for whom the Gifu Prefectural Police Headquarters has obtained an arrest warrant on suspicion of fraud, arrived at the international airport near Bangkok in an immigration bureau car on the night of the 49th Japan time and entered the airport building with immigration officials.
Ogawa is scheduled to be transferred to Japan by plane departing from the site after midnight on the 2th Japan time, and the police plan to arrest him on suspicion of fraud.
According to Thai police and others, a man from Taiwan is believed to be the leader of the four arrested, and Ogawa was posing as a police officer or bank official and making false calls to Japan.
The police are also working with local authorities to clarify the actual situation of the special fraud.
