Philippines to return 1 of 4 robbery suspects to Japan in coming days

As Japan and the Philippines do not have an extradition treaty, local cases must first be cleared before deportation.

Japan, please respect other country jurisdiction and just wait.

Get this guy!

Yuki Watanabe, the alleged ringleader and among the suspects, according to a Japanese investigative source, is believed to have remotely given instructions to those carrying out the break-ins via an encrypted messaging app from an immigration facility in Manila.

Watanabe, 38, is facing a separate charge in a Manila court for violating a law on violence against women and their children

Sounds like a swell guy, 2 different countries waiting to cut him in half? Can we get some pics of this fool?

Wait till these guys get the 20 hour a day interrogation treatment (among other techniques).

I’m willing to bet that they come to regret targeting the old and the vulnerable.

Let's see how "easy" this would be without money or more complications!

I'm more intrested in this story!

This is a fake story. So that he can't be extradited he had his Filipino girlfriend file this charge.

Japan will protect its citizen and may get less harsh punishment in four-season Japan, as compared to the hellish jails of the Philippines.

Yup, bring them home!!

I see what Seigi is saying, however….

It is my belief that Watanabe could easily purchase better conditions from his guards to make his incarnation far less arduous than it would otherwise be.

Japan on the other hand….

Yeah, that’s not happening here. He behaves like everyone else and follows the same strict discipline or he gets the treatment.

It will be a real culture shock to these guys, they are in Manila cooking their yummy food, playing games, watching tv, eating whatever they feel like and fiddling with their smartphones the whole day, just to end up in a japanese prison and march like a soldier to their 10min ofuro 2x week lol

Using encrypted messages... Are they or not?

Also jusy giving instructions does not make you a burglar or killer with need of deportation IMHO.

Surely he must have done worse things about trafficking or local crime.

Was he the new padrino ?

Get the fire hose ready!

Someone needs to talk.

As fair, or unfair as it may seem, in reality, Japan and the Philippines don't have an extradition treaty, so deporation is up to the Philippine government. Unfortunately, their government is corrupt (also according to some of my friends from the Philippines. So, unfortunately, money talks their.
