海外逃亡の男を日本に移送　９．６億円被害、リーダー格か―給付金詐欺・警視庁

　国の新型コロナウイルス対策の持続化給付金をめぐる詐欺事件で、指名手配中に逃亡先のインドネシアで身柄拘束された谷口光弘容疑者（４７）が２２日、日本に移送された。警視庁捜査２課は同日午後に帰国次第、詐欺容疑で逮捕する方針。
　同課は、谷口容疑者をリーダー格とするグループが２０２０年５～９月、約１７８０件に上る虚偽申請を繰り返し、同一グループの不正受給としては過去最大規模の約９億６０００万円超を詐取したとみている。（2022/06/22-12:53）

A Japanese man wanted for allegedly swindling the Japanese government out of COVID-19 benefits was transported toward Japan on Wednesday from Indonesia, where he was detained.
   Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department is slated to arrest Mitsuhiro Taniguchi, 47, when he arrives in Japan.
   The Tokyo police believe that a group led by Taniguchi made some 1,780 false applications between May and September 2020 for the central government's benefits aimed at helping small firms and sole proprietors seriously affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
   The group received over 960 million yen, one of the largest amounts swindled by a single group.
   On Sunday, the Tokyo police served fresh arrest warrants to Taniguchi's 45-year-old former wife, Rie, his 22-year-old son, Daiki, and his 21-year-old son for allegedly defrauding the government of a total of 3 million yen in COVID-19 benefits.
