Gifu prefecture police arrested and charged seven individuals on October 1 in connection to the sale of an unauthorized “cheating app” or using a proxy service for the Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle smartphone game app.
The police also arrested a separate individual for allegedly providing a proxy service for the game to receive in-game payments, as well as another individual who allegedly used this service.
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle launched for iOS and Android in Japan in 2015.
The app can allegedly be used to acquire purchasable in-game features for free.
