The Tokyo High Court of the second trial was damaged in a trial in which a former deputy mayor of Hino City, Tokyo, submitted a business plan that inflated the cost of land readjustment to the city and was charged with deceiving a subsidy of 80 million yen. He revoked the sentence of 1 trial, which was sentenced to imprisonment, and sentenced him to imprisonment with work for 2 years and 6 months and a suspended sentence of 4 years.

Defendant Hisao Kawauchi (80), who served as the deputy mayor of Hino City until 2009 and was a consultant to the chairman of the land readjustment association, inflated the costs together with the union staff for about one year until September 2018. He submitted a business plan to the city and was charged with fraudulent deception of a grant of 80 million yen.



In November last year, the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court in the first instance sentenced him to two years and six months in prison, saying that he was clever, planned, and malicious, such as inflating construction costs and concealing his overpayment. It was handed down and the defendant was appealing.



In the judgment of the second trial on the 22nd, Judge Masato Ito of the Tokyo High Court pointed out that there was no mistake in the judgment of the judgment of the first trial and the judgment of the seriousness of the crime, and said, "The defendant is the city after the judgment of the first trial. He paid about 45 million yen to the union that compensated for the damage, "and revoked the sentence of one trial, which was sentenced to imprisonment, and sentenced him to two years and six months in prison and a suspended sentence of four years.
