Drug addict rehabilitation facility head accused of siphoning ¥110 million
The man is believed to have had the organizations pay him under the guise of living expenses that was then used for personal purposes.
A man who oversees two addiction rehabilitation facilities in Yamanashi Prefecture has been accused of embezzling ¥110 million in organizational funds, sources have reported. The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau has imposed additional taxes and penalties totaling around ¥47 million over a seven-year period. The two organizations, the Yamanashi Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Center and Grace Lord facility for gambling addicts, were found to have improperly diverted funds to the head of the organizations for personal use, including lavish dining and overseas trips.
The man allegedly created fake payments to himself, disguised as living expenses, which should have been subject to income tax withholding. The organizations have acknowledged the tax investigation and stated they have followed the tax authorities' findings.
