Just curious? Why are they not showing the faces of these scoundrels? They are over 18, right?

Actually a Japanese prison is harsher than a prison in Cambodia. Just like those individuals with the Luffy gang in the Philippines, bribes are are everywhere and used to improve conditions.

Cambodia, Vietnam and so on, defendants can even directly pay the judge for a reduced sentence. That's why these crimes are being done in these countries.

It used to be the Philippines. Now Cambodia is the new playground for the Japanese bad boys?

They’re probably kiddy diddlers, too.

Cambodia is a playground for Japanese molesters.

It's a shame they didn't just jail them in Cambodia. My guess is it'd be a whole lot less comfortable than the big nothing they'll get for punishment back home.

Hopefully they arrested 28, not 25.

The 3 who scammed the most old people on fixed incomes got skydiving lessons over the South China Sea.

should be judged in Cambodia to get a fair trial.

Japanese justice is also a fraudster.

A greater deterrent would be a long sentence in Cambodia, I doubt the conditions will be congenial. Then deport them to be tried and imprisoned in Japan.

If the police spokesperson is a military general, may want to think twice about committing crimes there.
