The former president of a real estate company, who was arrested and charged in a misappropriation case investigated by the Osaka District Public Prosecutor's Office, held a press conference on the 25th, and two prosecutors who were involved in the investigation investigated the company's subordinates. On March 29, he announced his intention to file a criminal prosecution with the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, alleging that he had threatened.
Shinobu Yamagishi (59), who was the president of Pressance Corporation, a real estate company listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, held a press conference in Osaka City.
Mr. Yamagishi was arrested and charged by the Osaka District Prosecutor's Office three years ago for being involved in the case where the then presidents of a school corporation in Osaka embezzled 2.1 billion yen over land transactions. Innocence has been confirmed.
When the defense team analyzed the recordings of the interrogation in this investigation, the prosecutor of the special investigation department abused the subordinates who had denied Mr. Yamagishi's involvement for a long time and took a huge liability for compensation. It was found that there was a suspicion that he had drawn a statement admitting his involvement by threatening to become a member.
On the 29th of this month, Mr. Yamagishi filed a complaint against the two prosecutors on suspicion of threatening witnesses, saying that it was an illegal investigation that forced the prosecution's story to distort the evidence, aiming to detect the top of the company. I will submit it to the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office.
In addition, in order to dismiss the chief prosecutor who directed the investigation, we will apply for examination to the prosecutor eligibility examination committee of the Ministry of Justice, and will seek compensation of about 700 million yen from the government for being forced to resign from the president. ..
"The organizational structure of the prosecution should be corrected"
Mr. Yamagishi, who held the press conference, said, "The Osaka District Prosecutor's Office did not deal with the statements supporting innocence at all and pushed their story. The prosecution's organizational structure should be corrected so as not to cause guilt. "
Osaka District Inspection "No comment"
Regarding the criminal accusation and the claim for damages, Kensaburo Yazawa, the deputy prosecutor of the Osaka Regional Prosecutor's Office, said, "I have not been informed that the accusation or the state redress lawsuit has been filed, so I have no comment."
