Nineteen Japanese who are allegedly members of a fraud group have been detained by Cambodian authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department obtained arrest warrants for the men on suspicion of fraud targeting a woman in Tokyo, according to investigative sources.
The group reportedly swindled victims out of electronic money, telling them they owed money for an online service.
The MPD plans to dispatch investigators to Cambodia soon to receive the suspects, who will be arrested after being transferred to Japan.
