Yamabe is expected to be extradited soon to Japan where Kumamoto police have issued a warrant for her arrest for financial fraud. She is alleged to have illegally invested almost 70 million yen (200 million baht) collected from a Japanese man, while guaranteeing the principal and promising high returns. Using the same method, she allegedly amassed more than 700 million yen from dozens of other people between 2014 and 2016, according to police.
