Former secretary of Parliament arrested for alleged robbery, repeated crimes in various places 13:41 on February 26

Five years ago in 2015, an investigator told us that a former member of the Diet secretary had been arrested for breaking into a house in Hirakata City in Osaka and taking cash. The man has already been arrested and charged with robbery injuries in Kyoto and Shimane prefectures, and police are examining details of the robbery as if he had repeatedly robbed in various places.

Arrested was Takashi Uekura, 45, a former public secretary of the Diet.

According to the investigators, Mr. Uekura broke into the house of a 74-year-old woman in Hirakata City in October 2015, five years ago, closed down her body, covered her mouth with gum tape, and cashed about 8,000 yen etc. There is a suspicion of robbery as having robbed.

Suspicion that Uekura was involved was heightened by statements from accomplices already arrested, and he was arrested on the 26th.

In 2010, Uekura was a public secretary of the House of Representatives Satoshi Ninoyu of the Liberal Democratic Party. In 2010, he broke into the house of the company president of Kyoto City, injured his wife, and took 100 million yen in cash. In addition to being arrested and prosecuted, he was also charged with a robbery injury that occurred four years ago in Shimane Prefecture, and was sentenced to prison.

Police are investigating details of the situation, assuming that they were robbing repeatedly in various places.
