The proceeds of a robbery linked to a suspect nicknamed Luffy were allegedly transferred to the account of a man in police custody who is thought to be involved in a robbery ring, according to investigative sources.
The authorities think that a person who goes by the name of Luffy has orchestrated a spate of robberies across Japan, and they now believe Kiyoto Imamura is Luffy, according to the sources.
Imamura, 39, and three other men suspected of being senior members of a fraud group were deported from the Philippines to Japan in February.
