羽田空港に24時間常駐 警視庁の捜査員、国外逃亡に目光らせる 発生3時間後に逮捕も

Quick Look

羽田空港に常駐する警視庁国際犯罪対策課の捜査員は、容疑者の海外逃亡阻止と護送支援を担い、世田谷女性刺殺事件や栃木県上三川町の強盗殺人事件などで出国直前の容疑者発見に貢献。水際対策の体制強化が進んでいる。

Why It Matters

羽田国際捜査センターは2015年12月に訪日客増加に伴い創設され、24時間体制で空港に常駐し、容疑者の海外逃亡阻止と護送支援を行っている。

東京都心に近く、国内最多の利用者数を誇る羽田空港で、凶悪犯らの国外逃亡に目を光らせている警視庁の捜査員がいる。24時間体制で常駐し、事件発生からわずか3時間後に容疑者を発見・逮捕することに貢献したことも。匿名・流動型犯罪グループ(トクリュウ)など海外に拠点をもつケースもある中、水際対策の重要性が増している。

世田谷女性刺殺、交際相手の韓国籍男に拘禁刑20年 「極めて身勝手」―東京地裁

同庁国際犯罪対策課の羽田国際捜査センターは2015年12月、訪日客数増加に伴い創設された。容疑者の海外逃亡阻止のほか、海外から移送される容疑者の護送支援が主な任務。従来は要請を受けてから近隣の警察署員らが対応していたが、同センター創設後は専従の捜査員が24時間体制で空港に常駐し、警戒などに当たっている。

事件発生後、容疑者が特定されると、氏名や生年月日、身長や服装などの情報を基に、捜査員が出国状況を確認。利用する可能性のある航空会社の窓口付近を中心に捜索する。

昨年9月に世田谷区で起きた殺人事件では、出国手続き前だった韓国籍の容疑者発見に貢献。発生から約3時間後のスピード逮捕に結び付いた。男は発生直後に航空券を予約し、逃亡しようとしていた。

今年5月には、栃木県上三川町の民家で女性が殺害された強盗殺人事件の指示役逮捕にも貢献した。発生の3日後、出国審査を終えて出発ロビーにいたところを同県警の捜査員と連携して確保した。

同センターに通算で約8年間勤務する清水口あけみ警部補は、警視庁だけでなく全国の警察と連携して、その要請に応えられた時に大きなやりがいを感じるといい「『初めてだからできない』は通用しない。水際にいる緊張感を持ち続けている」と語る。

外国から移送されてくる容疑者らの護送支援では、入国手続きや税関検査が円滑に終わるよう支援するほか、一般客の安全に配慮し、1カ月前から計画を練ることも。印象深い出来事としては、19年に捜査員ら70人態勢での特殊詐欺事件に絡む容疑者12人の護送に携わった例を挙げた。

同課によると、羽田空港だけでなく、海の玄関口にあたる東京国際クルーズターミナルや貨物船が寄港する埠頭(ふとう)でも、同様に水際対策を徹底している。

8月まで課長を務めた高橋季樹警視正は「発足以降、関係機関との連携などノウハウを蓄積して来た。一連のトクリュウの事案も含め海外に逃走する事案の増加が予想されるため、担う役割は大きい」と強調した。

License images leaked, reissuance applications continue, concerns over "impersonation" have limited effect - Request for stricter identity verification - National Police Agency

The car-sharing service ``Times Car'' was attacked by a cyberattack, resulting in the leak of approximately 1.6 million people's driver's license images. Victim users have been applying for driver's licenses to be reissued one after another, but it has been pointed out that their effectiveness in deterring crime is limited because they cannot change their address or date of birth. The National Police Agency is calling on financial institutions to thoroughly verify the identity of individuals, and is calling on individuals to seek early advice in the event of a suspicious situation. The revised Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds from April next year is expected to require identity verification by reading an IC chip.

30,000 bottles of wine stolen from prestigious maker, costing 900 million yen - Italy

Approximately 30,000 bottles of high-quality wine were stolen from a winemaker's facility in Cortona, central Italy, resulting in a total loss of approximately 5 million euros (approximately 900 million yen). Police are investigating, and an employee noticed something unusual on the 5th. The crime is believed to have been carried out by a group of seven masked men who entered the building in two large trucks and loaded them with products such as the popular brand ``Solaia'' destined for overseas markets.
