TOKYO -- A monthslong string of violent robberies across Japan has led investigators to the Philippines from the dark world of online criminal recruitment, a blind spot for law enforcement.
The Philippines on Tuesday deported two of four Japanese men suspected of remotely running the robberies, one of which resulted in the death of a 90-year-old woman. The pair were detained upon arriving in Japan, and the other two are expected to be deported soon.
