This can be done, but it will not yield any different results in the case of an organization that is "making fake contracts with unexists or imaginable customers and making up the equipment list and purchase invoices, which make their business looks like the same as the real one."

We actually have very good working relationships with the other RIRs for this reason, and have asked for assistance as needed for translation and data verification... This is rather labor intensive, and will not uncover fabricated data that has been diligently prepared, as verification of both customer and business contact information is exceedingly difficult in some countries outside of the ARIN service region (even if undertaken by the RIR servicing that area.) We have been able to detect fraudulent applications that were similar in character to this case (and do reject such), but we routinely see these sorts of requests, i.e. ones backed by nominal in region presence and entirely out of region customer demand.
