A Chinese seafarer has been arrested more than seven years after allegedly faking his own death.
The crewman named as Zhang, 40, is facing a fraud trial after he claimed compensation from a shipping company, prosecutors in Shanghai’s Hongkou District said, according to the Shanghai Daily.
Most of the nearly CNY 800,000 ($120,000) payout was used to settle debts and his father’s medical fees, as well as for failed investments and daily expenses.
