I have reserved the approval or disapproval.
Defendant Takahiro Tanaka (60) and his second son, Masato (29), the secretary-general of the "Aichi 1 Million Recall Association", the organization that carried out the signing activities, were the citizens of the prefecture seeking a recall of Governor Omura of Aichi Prefecture in late October last year. He has been accused of violating the Local Autonomy Law for forging his signature using a part-time job in Saga City.
The first trial was held at the Nagoya District Court on the 24th, and the two said, "I will ask a lawyer to explain the content of the indictment," and said that the lawyer reserves the approval or disapproval.
After that, the prosecution said, "The secretary thought that the recall would not be successful as it was because the signature was only over 6,000 as of the end of September last year. When I asked the representative of an advertising-related company to collect the people who copied the signature, the secretary-general said, "I don't check with the person, everyone is doing it." If you dispose of it after the signature book is returned, you will not be exposed. ”The part-time job fee is paid by check or cash from the group's account, and the second son carries the signature form etc. to Saga City and instructs the work contents. I was doing it. "
