Tokyo police on Tuesday arrested a senior member of Manila-based Japanese crime group JP Dragon who was deported to Japan for his alleged links to what is known as the Luffy group, a separate crime network suspected of orchestrating a series of burglaries in Japan.
Tomohiro Koyama was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department on board an aircraft while being deported from the Philippines.
In January, Philippine authorities arrested Koyama on charges of fraud. The Metropolitan Police Department had obtained an arrest warrant for him on charges of theft related to special fraud and had requested his extradition.
