OSAKA, Dec 07 (News On Japan) - Seorang polisi wanita berusia 25 tahun telah ditangkap karena dicurigai terlibat dalam penipuan hubungan percintaan kelas internasional.

Pelaku yang berasal dari kantor polisi Nishinari di wilayah Osaka ini dilaporkan menyamar sebagai dokter pria dari Kanada dan mengatakan “Aku sedang menangani pasien di rumah sakit di Yaman, sedangkan ibuku sedang dirawat,” “Aku ingin meminjam 200,000 yen untuk membeli tiket pesawat dan akan segera aku lunasi.” pada wanita berumur 50 tahun, sehingga ia diduga telah menipu wanita tersebut untuk mentransfer uang sebesar 200,000 yen dengan alibi untuk menengok ibu-nya yang sakit.

Selain itu, pelaku juga dicurigai mengaku sebagai seorang pria Jepang berprofesi model, dan mengirim pesan kepada wanita lain yang berumur 60an, dan meminta uang untuk “biaya pengiriman hadiah berupa uang karena memenangkan kontes.” sehingga membujuk wanita tersebut agar mentransfer uang tunai.

Dia telah mengakui tuduhan tersebut pada saat penyelidikan berlangsung.

Kepolisian Wilayah Osaka mengatakan, "Hal ini sangat disesalkan, dan kami sangat meminta maaf. Kami akan menangani masalah ini secara tuntas berdasarkan hasil investigasi."
