Japanese police arrested Tuesday a Korean resident of Japan on allegations that he illegally sent remittances to North Korea.

The 67-year-old man, identified by his surname Jeon, runs a used-car dealership in Hikari, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Jeon allegedly began sending remittances to North Korea in 2006, acting upon requests from a number of pro-Pyongyang Korean residents in Japan.

Police have confirmed that he remitted about four-point-three million yen, over 55 million won, to North Korea through his brother who lives in the North.
