Woman, 86, in parents鈥 pension fraud
Print Edition
AN 86-year-old Japanese woman who allegedly carried on cashing her parents’ pension for half a century after they died has been arrested, police said Friday.
Mitsue Suzuki is said to have collected 50 million yen (US$420,000) for her parents, who would be among the world’s oldest people, if they hadn’t died in the 1960s.
The case is the latest in a series in Japan where welfare payments have continued long after someone’s death.
Suzuki’s alleged crime came to light when a pensions agency contacted the local authority in Gifu, central Japan, to ask after a woman who was 110 and her 112-year-old husband. The world’s oldest man is 112.
But Gifu officials said both were long dead — death certificates were issued in the 1960s.
An officer at Gifu Prefectural Police said Suzuki was arrested on Thursday for allegedly receiving 2.6 million yen between April 2013 and December 2014.Detectives are examining if they can expand this time period.
Suzuki has denied any wrongdoing, the officer said.
