Money Was Covid Aid For Needy Families, But Ended Up In The Wrong Hands. Check It Out!

A million-dollar mistake and a surprising expense. A 24-year-old man from Abu, Japan, received by mistake over R$ 1.7 million intended for emergency pandemic aid. And instead of alerting the authorities, spent it all on online games, according to the website Aventuras na História.

The million-dollar amount was part of a social assistance program for poor families affected by the pandemic. However, due to a processing error, the total amount was deposited in just one bank account, instead of being distributed among the beneficiaries.

Initially, the authorities did not know who had received the amount. However, on May 11, the responsible Japanese man was identified and became the target of a lawsuit filed by the city hall of Abu.

All The Money Was Spent On Games

According to the defense, the young Japanese man stated that he spent all the money on electronic games and is now regretting it. In a statement made this Wednesday (18), he declared:

“I’m very sorry I spent it all.”

Despite the regret, the money will be returned gradually, as the amount was completely used on gaming platforms — making immediate reimbursement impossible.

The mayor Norik Hanada of Abu stated that he is “sincerely happy” with the Japanese man’s decision to cooperate, but confirmed that the lawsuit will proceed to ensure that the money is fully recovered.
