Husband embezzles 1．4 billion yen， transfers to wife Anita， less than 10％ of debt repaid husband explains feelings “It’s shameful as a human being” Marriage continues
Published 11:00 on Monday, October 14th Asahi Shimbun Digital A massive embezzlement case that was discovered 23 years ago at the Aomori Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation. Former employee Yuji Chida (67), who embezzled over 1.4 billion yen, most of which he sent to his Chilean wife, spoke about his current feelings in an interview with the Asahi Shimbun. Senda abused his position as the corporation’s accounting officer and embezzled over 1.4 billion yen by withdrawing cash from the corporation’s bank account. Of that amount, at least 800 million yen (according to Senda’s statement, approximately 1.1 billion yen) was sent to his Chilean wife, Anita Alvarado (51). After completing his 14-year prison sentence in 2016, Senda now lives alone in an apartment and spends his days searching for work. When asked why he agreed to be interviewed, Senda said, “I’m almost 70 years old, and speaking about the incident is a way for me to draw a line in my life,” and added, “My embezzlement case has caused trouble, both mental and financial, to many people, including the public corporation, the people of Aomori Prefecture, and many others. I owe him an apology,” he said. According to Aomori Prefecture, which took over the claims from the corporation following its dissolution, less than 10% of the damages have been repaid. As a result of the incident, Senda, who is unable to find a permanent position, said, “He stole money from the public corporation, went to prison, and lived off taxpayers’ money for 14 years. He feels good about himself. It’s pathetic to be thought of that way by people in the world. “The reality may be tough, but I want to keep working and cut back on my lifestyle in order to give back even 1,000 or 2,000 yen to the people of Aomori Prefecture.” Although he has not met Anita since the incident came to light, their marriage remains intact. They had lost contact and had never had the opportunity to discuss divorce. Senda said, “If there is any money remaining, I want it to be repaid and returned to the people of Aomori Prefecture. That is what I am asking of her now.” https
>>5 >It’s amazing he didn’t die after all that >I would have died That’s what most people would do And while that idiot from >>1 was living happily, there must have been employees who had to deal with the embezzled losses and died from overwork That’s just how brazen he was.
There’s something strange about the term “former prisoner” in Japanese law. People like this happen because they don’t impose punishments such as making people work 18 hours a day in prison with no days off until they pay off their debt.
