MANILA -- One of the four Japanese men suspected of involvement in a string of robberies across Japan had six iPhones in his possession while in a Philippine detention center, Philippine Justice Minister Jesus Remulla said on Tuesday.
Philippine authorities intend to start extradition procedures for the four men in the first half of next week at the earliest.
According to a senior Metropolitan Police Department official, the four suspects held in the facility are Yuki Watanabe, 38; Kiyoto Imamura, 38; Toshiya Fujita, 38, and Tomonobu Kojima, 45. They are all believed to be senior members of a fraud group uncovered in the Philippines in November 2019.
