Japanese honorary consul for Cambodia found with undeclared income

TOKYO - The Japanese man serving as an honorary consul for Cambodia in the northeastern city of Sendai failed to declare some 370 million yen ($2.3 million) in income over four years through 2024, sources familiar with the case said Thursday.

Susumu Tai received consulting fees from Japanese companies despite apparently providing no services of the kind to speak of, then funneled most of the money back to the companies while leaving the remainder undeclared, according to the sources.
