Former member of the House of Councillors Garcy was arrested for repeatedly threatening celebrities on video posting sites. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the fact that multiple collaborators were involved in the video distribution and that they shared the revenue.
The former legislator earned more than 2 million yen from video distribution between April and August last year alone, and it is known that the company in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, which is practically run by an acquaintance, managed the profits. The company executives who were arrested in April and later released for their involvement in the production and editing of videos also received a portion of the proceeds.
