It is believed the cabbies were paid up to 600,000 yen each for putting their name on a wedding application form.
I would think that the taxi drivers could make more money off this scam. If I am not wrong a marriage visa is 3 years and once you get divorced I think it can still be extended especially if you have a kid. That should be worth more than 600,000 yen max. Wonder what the low end was. How much does the snake head in China make off this transaction?
