Former SDF arrested personally managed without registering information as special defense secret or January 19 12:03
In a case where a former JASDF officer was arrested for leaking information on the performance of American-made `` early warning aircraft '' to a trading company, information obtained from the United States was personally managed without registering it as a special defense secret I was told by interviews with the investigators. I got acquainted with a trading company employee about 10 years ago, and the Metropolitan Police Department is examining the details.
Satoshi Kanno (58), former JASDF First Commander of the Air Self-Defense Force and the chief of the Planning Division of the Aviation Development Experiment Group, made a special defense secret for employees of a domestic trading company at the Air Self-Defense Force's Iruma base in 2013. He was arrested on suspicion of violating the Secret Protection Act associated with the Japan-US Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement, and sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office on the 19th for leaking information about the performance of the designated early warning aircraft "E2D" in USB memory etc. .
Kanno said he obtained information from the U.S. side in 2010, when he was the director of the Defense Division of the Aviation Command Command, but in a subsequent investigation, he did not proceed to register as a special defense secret. Interviews with the investigators revealed that there was a suspicion that they had been managed.
Sugano has been in a post where he can access confidential information, and he met a trading company employee two years ago, around 2008, through his work, and the Metropolitan Police Department is examining the details.
It means that he has denied the charges against the investigation.
