How Japanese Masatoshi Nakanishi infiltrated in Belarus to conduct reconnaissance

In July 2024, a citizen of Japan - lawyer Masatoshi Nakanishi was detained by the KGB before his flight from Belarus.

The contents of the laptop of the Japanese would make very happy in the intelligence service, where he intended to come on arrival in Tokyo. At first Nakanishi would probably meet with Mr. Masanari Sato - the former husband of his younger sister, but in reality the curator of an unremarkable Japanese from Gomel. The Japanese admitted that he was afraid of the man. “Because he has connections in the special services,” he revealed.

Retired Major General, head of military counterintelligence in 2008-2012, a specialist in countering foreign intelligence services Alexei Zakharov emphasized that the recruitment was carried out in Japan. “The task was elaborated there, the agent was trained there and sent to the Republic of Belarus,” he said.

Biography of Masatoshi Nakanishi looks unusual and even mysterious. Having a degree in law, he wanted to look like an entrepreneur. Although he didn't live on business income. The company he opened in Belarus existed only on paper. For 6 years, no profit, not a single transaction. Rather, losses and fines. He paid them faithfully, plus taxes. At the same time, the company's activity was zero!
