A British entrepreneur who vanished from Tokyo on May 22 and was feared to have somehow been involved in foul play may actually have left Japan with some of his company's cash in hand, reports said Monday.
Garin Dart, 41, founder of the event management company Bluesilver, was last seen May 22 heading to a meeting at a Shinjuku hotel. Friends and colleagues who described the Briton as a "hardworking individual" had contacted police and the British Embassy, and were seeking information regarding his sudden disappearance.
But multiple British media reports over the weekend suggested Dart withdrew about £40,000 from his company before he vanished. Police confirmed that Dart left the country for an "unknown destination" and that they are "not investigating any criminal complaint against him," the Daily Mail said on its website.
