A 41-year-old Japanese man who used to work at the Hong Kong branch of Credit Suisse was arrested Wednesday for allegedly helping launder profits from a massive loan-sharking operation, Tokyo police said.
The Metropolitan Police Department arrested Atsushi Doden after the former banker turned himself in to police accompanied by a lawyer. He arrived at Narita airport near Tokyo on a flight from Hong Kong earlier in the day.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Doden last week, and Japanese authorities confiscated his passport to entice him to return to Japan.
