An international school teacher proficient in Japanese language has been arrested for a major foreign employment fraud, the Foreign Employment Bureau said.
The woman identified as Handuwalage Shermila Jayaratna, 45 from Kadawatha was arrested on Sunday and has been remanded until October 19 over the allegation of a racket of sending persons to Japan.
The woman reportedly had forged documents and rubber stamps of Japanese authorities.
According to initial investigations the fraud may amount to over Rs 40 million, but so far there was only confirmation about frauds amounting to Rs 10 million.
The woman reportedly collected money from prospective job seekers in Japan and had failed to send them. Some of them had paid Rs 700,000 each.
The woman had no authority to send persons abroad for jobs, the Bureau said.
