Tokyo police have arrested 2 men on suspicion of swindling compensation funds intended for people affected by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.
Police say the men defrauded Tokyo Electric Power Company of 40,000 dollars in the year after the accident.
The suspects allegedly made a false claim that their staffing agency suffered a sales drop because it received fewer job orders from hotels in Fukushima Prefecture.
Investigators say the suspects made the claim under the name of a dummy company.
Police believe other people were involved in the alleged fraud and that they submitted fake applications to steal more than 200,000 dollars in total.
