A Japanese man accused of helping to run a $90 million investment scam will be sent home after four years on the run, Indonesian authorities said Tuesday

. Yusuke Yamazaki, 43, was arrested off Bulan island in Kepulauan Riau province on Jan. 31, while attempting to cross into Malaysia in a small wooden boat, said Nyoman Gede Surya Mataram, who heads the provincial office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. He's expected to be deported by the end of the day. The boat also carried four undocumented Indonesian migrant workers and two crew, Mataram said.

Five people connected to Nishiyama Farm were arrested in October 2021 for suspected fraud worth around 13.3 billion yen and later convicted, but Yamazaki left Japan for Hong Kong in February 2020, according to Japanese media reports. Aichi Prefectural Police listed Yamazaki as a fugitive on an Interpol Blue Notice in 2022. Mataram said Yamazaki is believed to have arrived in Indonesia by way of Turkey in April the following year.
