国人の女が指紋を手術で変えて入国審査のバイオ（生体）認証を通過して不正入国していた事件で、入管難民法違反容疑で今月５日に再逮捕された中国籍の住所不定、無職林蓉被告（２７）が警視庁の調べに「中国で、１０万元（約１３０万円）を払って指紋を変える手術を受けた」と供述していることがわかった。 同庁は、中国国内に指紋変造を専門に行うブローカーが存在するとみている。 同庁幹部によると、林被告が手術を受けたのは、両手の親指と人さし指の計４本。いずれも別の皮膚の一部を移植したり、直接、傷を付けたりしたような不自然な跡が残っていた。２００７年３月に日本から強制送還された後に手術を受け、手術場所については「自宅のある福建省から車で１時間ほどの民家」と供述しているが、どんな手術なのかは「麻酔を受けてよく覚えていない」と話しているという。

A homeless woman with Chinese nationality who had changed the fingerprints by operation, trying to pass the attestation of biotechnology of the passport control (living body) and illegally enter the country was arrested again on the 5th of this month on the suspicion of violating the Immigration Control and Refugee Law. It was understood that this unemployed defendant (27) had testified to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that "In China (I) paid 100,000 yuan (about 1.3 million yen) for the operation to change the fingerprints". This Department expected the broker who was specialized in fingerprint alteration still staying in China. According to the agency officials, in total four fingers, including the thumb and index finger of both hands had undergone operation, some skin from somewhere was transplanted to both parts, and with unnatural direct wound marks remaining. As to the kind of operation that had been received, she said, "because anesthetizing was received, therefore it could not be remembered well". The operation was undergone after she was deported from Japan in March, 2007, and it was testified that the operation location was "in Fujian in a private house about one hour's drive by car from home".

It seems that if you have the connection, you could have all kinds of private medical services, be it legal or illegal, in China.
