Overview
- Police detained former NeoRevers representative Fukuhara Keisai, also known as Kominato Keisai, 44, and former employee Taishi Nakayama, 44, on a renewed embezzlement suspicion.
- The pair are accused of misappropriating 11 watches entrusted by a Tokyo man between June 2023 and January 2024 by pawning or selling them, including activity in Osaka.
- Investigators estimate the watches’ market value at about ¥12.1 million and say the transactions yielded roughly ¥665,000 in cash.
- The suspects were first arrested in December on fraud allegations, and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office indicted them in January for embezzlement.
