# Japanese woman arrested for cancelling Rs 258 crore online orders 2026-08-07T18:46:48+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Japanese police arrested Mayu Yoshida, 32, for placing over 2,000 fake online orders for Naruto and One Piece merchandise worth 4.3 billion yen (approx Rs 258 crore) and then cancelling them. She used multiple identities and chose cash on delivery but never paid, refusing parcels or cancelling after shipment. Investigators say publisher Shueisha filed a complaint in June 2025, and Yoshida was arrested on August 4. She told authorities she acted out of stress, saying, "I love anime in general, so placing these orders satisfied that desire." The actual loss to Shueisha is estimated at 7.5 million yen (Rs 47.5 lakh), mostly from shipping and handling. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: arrest, e-commerce, fake orders, Japan, online fraud, Shueisha Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/japanese-woman-arrested-for-fake-orders-causing-rs-258-crore-loss/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
