After many years seeking clarification on large cross-border USD transfers (2002), formal written inquiries to the receiving bank remain unanswered.
Due to urgent humanitarian needs, the matter has been shared with overseas regulators for transparency and review.
In 2003, Japan’s financial authority publicly acknowledged the loss of transaction records submitted by two foreign banks.
Related large USD transfers from 2002 remain unresolved, with no confirmation from the receiving bank despite formal inquiries.
Information shared
For transparency:
Two large USD wire transfers (total USD 1.05bn) sent to a Japanese bank in 2002 remain unexplained.
Formal written inquiries to the bank requesting confirmation of receipt have gone unanswered.
The matter has been shared with multiple overseas authorities.
