Police in Tokyo have arrested a Chinese woman on suspicion of illegally re-entering Japan by cheating a fingerprint identification test. It is the first arrest in Japan for deceiving the biometrics-based ID system.
The 27-year-old woman, from China's Fujian Province, had been deported in 2007 for illegally working in Japan. She allegedly re-entered the country last December.
She is suspected of receiving surgery in China on both index fingers and thumbs in order to cheat the biometrics technology.
Investigators say that the woman's fingerprints looked unnatural, suggesting that her skin was removed and replaced.
The woman reportedly admitted to having such an operation in China, paying brokerage fees of some 14,500 dollars.
She had already been indicted in Japan for falsifying her marriage.
