At a welfare corporation that announced the establishment of a “baby post box”…an accountant embezzled 100 million yen or spent it on “cabaret club debauchery” in a shocking way.

Shortly after 8:30 in the morning on February 14.

A transport vehicle pulled out of the police station. The man in the backseat, wearing glasses and a mask, remained downcast and did not look up from start to finish. He seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the crime of embezzling a large sum of money from the account of the organization to which he belonged.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Honjo Police Station arrested the man slumped over in the transport vehicle on suspicion of embezzlement in the course of his duties: Hiromichi Tanaka, 49, of Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture. Tanaka is a former accountant for the social welfare corporation “Souiku-kai,” which aims to set up a “baby post” in Tokyo to take care of children from parents who are unable to care for them. Between April and August 2005, he is alleged to have embezzled approximately 17 million yen from a regular savings account of the organization.

Tanaka transferred money to his own account six times from the “Sangaku-kai” account. At the time, Tanaka was the only person in charge of accounting, and the embezzled money was listed under the name of “unpaid money. The new accountant had doubts about the unnatural flow of money and reported it to his supervisor. The incident was discovered.

Tanaka, who was dismissed from the company in June 2008 on disciplinary grounds, admitted the crime, saying, “There is no doubt about it. As for the amount of money, he is said to have made a surprising statement. He said he embezzled more than 100 million yen over a period of about 10 years starting around 2008.

What is even more surprising is how he used the embezzled money. Tanaka is said to have told the police during questioning, “I used the money to pay for a cabaret club where I played.

I was having trouble paying for the cabaret clubs I went to. I also used the money to pay my mortgage.”

Tanaka, who had embezzled more than 100 million yen from a social welfare corporation and spent it lavishly at a cabaret club. It seems that he continued to spend money on entertainment and was unable to stop himself from committing crimes.
