Police say 82-year-old man in custody may be former North

Korea spy



Thursday October 14, 12:25 AM



Police have arrested an 82-year-old man believed to be a

former North Korean spy, after finding passports from three

countries and a notebook detailing trips to the communist

nation at his home in western Japan, an official and a news

report said Wednesday.



Shuichi Shin was taken into custody by police in Osaka on

Tuesday and accused of illegally entering Japan in May 2002,

an Osaka Prefectural Police spokesman said on condition of

anonymity.



Investigators raided his home in connection with another

case involving a South Korean woman who allegedly made false

statements on a foreign resident registration filing.



What they found has led them to believe Shin may have been a

spy for the reclusive communist state.



Among Shin's possessions were passports for North Korea and

South Korea as well as a Japanese passport, with Shin's

photograph but a Japanese name, Kyodo News said, citing

police sources.



Investigators also discovered a chart of numbers, the report

said. Police believe the North's agents use number charts to

decode messages sent from other agents or their government,

according to Kyodo.



A small notebook offered the most revealing details,

however. Written in it was the date November 1973, and

alleged details about Shin's trip from Japan to North Korea

by ship, Kyodo said. Though he didn't have a re-entry

permit, he recorded his return to Japan a month later, the

report said.



Shin also traveled to South Korea in May 2002, after

allegedly providing false information to receive a re-entry

visa as a permanent resident of Japan, the police spokesman

said. He returned two days later.



Shin has denied the allegations, Kyodo News cited police as

saying.



North Korean spies are known to have infiltrated Japanese

waters, and in the late 1970s and 80s even kidnapped at

least a dozen Japanese citizens and whisked them off to

North Korea to teach their agents the Japanese language and

culture.



Several abductees were finally returned to Japan two years

ago, and their stories have become a well-known cautionary

tale here to avoid beaches at night.

LEAD: Police suspect man in custody is ex-N. Korean agent



Wednesday October 13, 8:39 PM



Japanese police said Wednesday they believe a South Korean

citizen living in Osaka who was arrested on suspicion of

illegal entry into Japan is a former spy for North Korea, as

he has a forged Japanese passport and other mysterious

belongings.



The police arrested Shuichi Shin, 82, on Tuesday on

suspicion he illegally entered Japan via Kansai airport on

May 13, 2002, in violation of the Immigration Control and

Refugee Recognition Law. They have discovered at his home

both North Korean and South Korean passports, as well as a

false Japanese passport, and tables of apparently random

numbers.



A small notebook, also found in the house raid, showed how

he shuttled between Japan and North Korea on a spy ship in

1973 and what he learned during training for espionage in

the country, the police said.



Shin has denied the allegation, they said.



North Korean agents are believed to use number codes to

communicate with each other or their headquarters in the

country.



In November 1973, Shin allegedly left Japan for North Korea

on a spy ship without reentry permission, but reentered

Japan illegally the following month aboard the vessel, the

police said.



On May 11, 2002, he left for South Korea after obtaining a

reentry visa by pretending he was a special permanent

resident of Japan. He returned to Japan two days later.



The police searched his house in connection with a separate

case involving a South Korean woman who allegedly filed

false information in her foreign resident registration.



Pyongyang has admitted its agents abducted Japanese citizens

to the North in the late 1970s and early 1980s, some of whom

were repatriated in 2002.



Japanese public security authorities suspect the communist

state systematically located agents in Japan, and that they

operated under cover, in some cases with fake Japanese

identities.



Shin's Japanese passport has a photograph of his face but a

different person's name, the police said.
