Not so tough now, eh Fatboys? Thought you were well hidden in the Philippines and could avoid justice? Wrong.

If it turns out these scum were behind the brutal murder of the poor 90 year old lady, they deserve the gallows as much as anyone. No mercy.

@Fighto!

Agreed 100%. I cannot think of many things more cowardly, vicious, and disgusting than torturing and killing a 90 year old lady. I remember an era when such things were unheard of, and unimaginable. Maybe the gallows is too good for them (if found guilty of being behind such a heinous act), let them rot in prison for the rest of their lives. And let the other prisoners ( many of whom will have mothers too) have a little chat with them.

LMFAO, so the Philippines wanted the money I say this because the mastermind and the money manager was the last two criminals released!! Over 6 billion yen I am sure they had more stashed and before they left someone got the loot!

Watanabe is believed to have led the fraud group from the Philippines, while Kojima is thought to have managed its revenue collection. The group is estimated to have stolen over 6 billion yen before appearing to switch its activities to robberies, according to the police.

More japanese crime in the Philippines.

They man-spread like that in front of the J-cops and they are likely to have a certain part of their anatomy kicked into their throats.

It would serve them right too.

I don’t know what kind of sentence they will receive, if any, but they didn’t directly kill that old lady or directly do anything in Japan so… maybe they’re smarter than they look.

Thing is these 4 dummies arnt the ones who killed the old lady and assaulted the old man, it was the ones who actually physically went there to do the commanded crime. There’s been so much focus in “luffy “ that people stopped asking why the lady was killed.

it’s unlikely they specifically targeted her for murder given how they got away with a dozen plus robberies before this.

meh either way throw the effing book at all of them, and find their contacts in japan that were helping them target people from the Philippines

Good job Japan! Good job Japan police! The crime scene is on the mend and we all should be happy (except the usual suspects...)

A free flight to Japan.

On one of Japan's most

famous airlines.

Jealous...

You won't be when you see their lodgings.

People should note they used false names to imply that foreigners were targeting elderly Japanese people.

Dis-organized crime !

Domestic assault or something like that, apparently made up to prevent/delay deportation

Won't they get harsher punishment in the Philippines? Why are they being allowed back to Japan for a softer ride?

Crimes were in Japan.

Anyway, they probably won't get harsh punishment because they have money.

The one on the left looks like a Scooby Doo villain. "And I woulda got away with it...."

They have pretty cool tattoos so I guess they couldn’t do the telephone scam and turn up at old ladies houses, so they had use “normal” people. I hope the computer files will have details of their employees and they can all take a holiday together.

What was the local charges in the Philippines?

Some guys who scam old ladies, huh? I hope those two jabrionis don't really have fat faces like that, I hope it's because the cops in the Philippines tuned them up real good back at the station.

And I hope the Japanese cops tune them up again.

Japanese crooks seem to be getting chubbier and chubbier.

The detainees' repatriation, however, hinged on courts dismissing local criminal cases against them

What courts? Just start hacking limbs!

Have their conversations been recorded?

Nope they used an encrypted messaging app to relay their orders. I guess they have somebodies phone with the decrypted messages and pseudonyms "Luffy" and "Kim" . I am not sure what else they have that actually links these men to the crimes maybe some testimony from the guy they arrested.

I guess they will hold them in detention for months and months they have plenty of possible crimes to continue arresting them for at least a year until somebody cracks after daily interrogation and admits it all or turns on the others. Gotta keep that 99% somehow.

Yuki and Tomonobu are both staring at something - Yuki east and Tomnobu north west. They look fashionably dressed and Tomnobu's tiny pigtail is quite elegant. After flying them back home to Japan will they be put on the next one way flight to the International Space Station?

 The guy with the ponytail looks like he is spilling the beans and the other guy looks like hes trying telepathically to tell him "Dude! SHUT UP!"

Lol, without seeing their mouths that's one way to unpack the eye language of these two masked scumbags. Their personal histories and the back story of what drove them to go on their crime spree will be interesting to hear once the masks are off.

Is that the best picture they could've used? The guy with the ponytail looks like he is spilling the beans and the other guy looks like hes trying telepathically to tell him "Dude! SHUT UP!"

Thankfully NHK reported the top news of what they had to eat on the plane over....with a photo...and that they were safely ensconced behind a curtain on the flight so that regular Japanese people wouldn't feel their criminal shame on the flight..

What a photo. Probably could have found these guys just by virtue of their twitchiness.

Pond scum. Hope they get the harshest sentences possible.

The masks, and not any normal masks at that. Is that really necessary?

-10 ( +5 / -15 )

The four men are also suspected of remotely coordinating a number of robberies via an encrypted messaging app while being held at an immigration detention facility in Manila.

The guys have guys to commit crime whilst under detention by immigration?

Have their conversations been recorded?

Give them their day in court, and let the prosecutors do their jobs. Be rather interesting to see what sentences they received, if or when, they are found guilty.
