Three people connected to the AUM Shinrikyo cult have been arrested on suspicion of renting an apartment and secretly using it as a cult facility, police said Tuesday.
Arrested on suspicion of fraud were a 41-year-old member who headed the cult's Sendai facility, and two brothers who were lay members for the cult, which now calls itself Aleph.
Investigators said the three made a contract at a real estate firm in Yokohama's Naka-ku to rent an apartment, but hid the fact that they were going to use it as a cult facility. Using the apartment, they allegedly made illegal profits for the cult.
