In a case in which a former SoftBank employee was arrested for taking confidential information, it has been a week since the Metropolitan Police Department requested executives of the Russian Trade Representative in Japan, who seemed to have received the information, to appear. There is no answer. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that it was working to keep out of the investigation, as executives changed places every time they contacted former employees.
Former SoftBank employee Yutaka Araki (48) was arrested on suspicion of violating the Unfair Competition Prevention Law, alleging that he illegally took out confidential information regarding communications equipment such as telephone base stations. For example, we are requesting executives in the 50s of the Russian Trade Representative in Japan and former employees who have already returned to Japan to appear.
One day is one week from the request for appearance, but there is no answer so far.
Former Araki was contacted by former employees several years ago, and is believed to have been taken over by executives.However, in a subsequent investigation, every time executives contacted former employees, they had to go to places such as restaurants. An interview with the investigators revealed that it had changed.
In response to the investigation, former employee Araki stated that he had given the information to executives, and explained that he had received tens of thousands of yen in cash depending on the materials provided. He thought he might be a spy. It is doing.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that the Russians were conducting espionage to keep the investigation out of reach.
