The fourth hearing of the trial of Masayuki Tashiro, 40, a self-proclaimed counselor from Isesaki City, who is accused of fraud for allegedly inciting anxiety by claiming that "money is contaminated with bacteria" and then defrauding women of cash, was held at Maebashi District Court on the 25th.
Tashiro admitted to the additional charges.
According to prosecutors, the defendant lied to a woman in her 50s, telling her that "money needs to be disinfected in order to steer her husband's company in a positive direction," and received a total of 10 million yen from her.
It has also been revealed that when the woman asked him if he could disinfect the company's money as well, he stated, "I hesitated, but thought it would be lucky if I could get my hands on it."
