Manila, June 25 (Jiji Press)–Philippine authorities said Thursday that they detained in Manila on Tuesday a Japanese national suspected of being a senior member of a group involved in a series of robbery cases across Japan. Tokyo Summary Court has issued an arrest warrant for the Japanese national, Hideharu Inoue, 56, on suspicion of theft. Senior members of the Philippines-based group used the name “Luffy” and other nicknames. According to the Philippine authorities, Inoue is suspected of involvement in a special fraud scheme targeting an elderly person in Japan. The authorities began investigating the case after receiving a request for cooperation from the Japanese Embassy in Manila in December 2024. Inoue is expected to be deported to Japan.
