State, Tokyo will not appeal high court ruling on chemical machinery maker
The central and Tokyo metropolitan governments say they will not appeal a recent high court ruling on the wrongful arrest and detention of three company executives accused of illegal exports. The Japanese prosecutors' office and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department each announced on Wednesday that, after closely examining the ruling, they would not appeal to the Supreme Court. They issued an apology to chemical machinery manufacturer Ohkawara Kakohki and related parties. Last month, the Tokyo High Court upheld a lower court ruling and recognized the investigations by Tokyo police and prosecutors as unlawful. The court ordered the governments to pay over 166 million yen, or about 1.14 million dollars, in damages to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are two executives and the bereaved family of another executive of the manufacturer. In 2020, Tokyo police arrested the three executives of the Yokohama-based company for allegedly exporting illegally to China and elsewhere machinery that could be converted for military use. Although they were indicted, prosecutors later dropped the charges in a rare move, and the three men were declared innocent. Tokyo police said on Wednesday that they deeply apologize for causing great pain and trouble to the plaintiffs and other concerned parties. The police also said they have set up a team headed by the department's deputy chief to identify issues in their investigations and draw up measures to prevent a recurrence. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office issued a similar apology on the same day. It also revealed that the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office will examine the investigations by the prosecutors.

Ex-Nihon University weightlifting manager allegedly forced staff to give him rides
A former manager of Nihon University's weightlifting club who was arrested for fraudulently collecting school fees from scholarship students also forced coaches to drive him to and from work, Metropolitan Police said Wednesday. Kenji Nanba, 63, allegedly used his authority as manager to compel staff to give him rides. He is believed to have instructed several coaches to chauffeur him between his home in the city of Komae, Tokyo, and the university's campus in the city of Fujisawa, Kanagawa — a round trip of nearly 80 kilometers. He also allegedly made coaches greet him upon his arrival at the university, run errands such as buying lunch, and harshly reprimanded those who challenged his instructions. According to investigators, Nanba abused his influence as manager over personnel decisions, making it difficult for staff to defy his demands. Nanba was arrested Tuesday for defrauding ¥2.05 million ($14,000) from the scholarship students. Although tuition and other fees were supposed to be partially or fully waived for the students, he allegedly sent their parents inflated invoices for entrance and school fees. Under Nanba's direction, a coach in his 40s created the fraudulent invoices, determining the inflated amounts, police said. Parents were instructed to transfer the money to the club's bank account. A portion of the funds was then allegedly handed over to Nanba, with the rest paid to the university under the students' names. Police also found evidence that Nanba reviewed the invoices before they were sent. Nanba has denied the allegations, telling police: 'I received the money with the parents' consent, under the understanding it was a donation.' A graduate of Nihon University himself, Nanba became a middle school teacher in Yamagata Prefecture after graduating and was appointed manager of the weightlifting club in April 2000. He produced multiple Olympic athletes and earned a reputation as a respected manager. In parallel, he served as a professor in the university's College of Bioresource Sciences, where students reportedly viewed him as approachable and kind. However, within the weightlifting team, Nanba held what investigators and university officials described as absolute power. In a civil lawsuit demanding restitution of the funds he allegedly embezzled, Nihon University stated that Nanba had been 'an unshakable authority figure' whose word could not be opposed by either coaches or athletes. Nanba was also rumored to have had close ties with Hidetoshi Tanaka, the late former university chairman known as the 'Don of Nihon University,' a figure associated with corruption scandals. This relationship reportedly helped Nanba ascend unusually quickly to a professorship. Nanba's ability to allegedly defraud funds was facilitated by a long-standing, unauthorized practice at Nihon University which allowed coaches and managers of some athletic clubs to directly collect tuition and fees from students' families — a system that police believe may have enabled fraudulent activity. According to university officials, some clubs bypassed the school's official payment channels by asking parents to deposit entrance and tuition fees into club-controlled bank accounts. These funds were then transferred to the university, but without its oversight or approval. Despite repeated notices since around 2014 instructing all athletic departments to cease this practice, an internal probe conducted last year found that proxy collection remained in use by at least nine athletic clubs, including the weightlifting, basketball, and cycling clubs, While no personal misuse of funds was confirmed outside the weightlifting club, officials admitted the system lacked transparency. In the ongoing civil lawsuit filed by Nihon University seeking the return of improperly collected funds from Nanba, he said that it was common practice in some athletic clubs to admit underqualified students in exchange for agreed-upon 'donations.'

Central and Tokyo governments won't appeal ruling in Ohkawara case
The central and Tokyo metropolitan governments Wednesday decided not to appeal a recent court ruling in a damages lawsuit that found investigations into spray dryer maker Ohkawara Kakohki were illegal. The company is not expected to appeal the Tokyo High Court decision as well. The ruling, which also ordered the governments to pay a total of ¥166 million in damages, is set to become final Thursday. Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office expressed their apologies for the heavy burden they had placed on people related to the company. The Tokyo police set up a team headed by the deputy superintendent-general to examine problems with the investigations and work out measures to prevent a recurrence. The prosecutors office also said that the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office will conduct probes. In March 2020, the Public Security Bureau of the Tokyo police arrested Masaaki Okawara, CEO of the Yokohama-based based company, and two others for allegedly exporting without permission a spray dryer that could be repurposed for weapons production, in violation of the foreign exchange law. But the Tokyo prosecutor's office dropped the charges against them in July 2021, just before the first criminal court hearing on the case, saying that doubts had arisen over whether the spray dryer in question was among the products subject to export controls. In the damages suit, Tokyo High Court determined on May 28 this year that the Public Security Bureau arrested the Ohkawara Kakohki officials without necessary additional investigations, and that the prosecutors office indicted them without conducting the probes that are normally required. It upheld a Tokyo District Court ruling that the authorities' investigations were illegal. During the hearings in the suit, active police officers testified that the case was a "fabrication" and "problematic." The high court ruling said such testimony "should be taken seriously."
