「大川原おおかわら化工かこう機き」社長しゃちょう “冤罪えんざい事件じけんの捜査そうさ員いん 検察けんさつは起訴きそを”

In the case of the false accusation involving Okawara Kakoki in Yokohama, following the decision by the Prosecutorial Review Board that the non-prosecution of the two former investigators from the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department was unjust, the manufacturer’s president held a press conference and appealed, saying, The decision is appropriate, and I want the prosecution to indict them.

In the case of false accusation where the president and two others from Okawara Kakoki were arrested and indicted on suspicion of illegal export, two investigators from the Public Security Bureau of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at the time were criminally accused of preparing a report that excluded experimental data on machine temperature measurements that were unfavorable to the investigation. However, in January of this year, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office decided not to indict either of them due to insufficient evidence.

Upon receiving the manufacturers claim, the Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution decided that it is unacceptable to conduct an investigation with a predetermined intention to indict and to omit the experimental results, and announced on the 29th that the decision not to prosecute was unjust.

In response to this, the manufacturer held a press conference in Tokyo, and President Masaaki Okawara said, The decision is a reasonable one.

The investigators fabricated a case by doing something close to fraud, so I want the prosecution to indict them.

I think it is right that they receive an appropriate punishment in court.

In addition, the attorney representing the plaintiff, Tsuyoshi Takada, stated, If the prosecution decides not to indict again, it will be as if they are covering up the case.

For what purpose was the incident investigated? Our future decisions are now being called into question, he said.

Based on the resolution, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office will conduct a reinvestigation and will once again decide whether to indict.
