A 24-year-old riot police member of the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters committed suicide because of power harassment. I ordered the payment of 10,000 yen.
On the other hand, no causal relationship with suicide was found.
Seven years ago, Mr. Daichi Kido (24 at the time), who was a riot police member of the Hyogo Prefectural Police, committed suicide in the riot police dormitory. I was suing for compensation.
In the judgment on the 22nd, Keiko Kuboi, the judge of the Kobe District Court, rebuked her seniors about two to three times a month and wrote "blurred Kido" in the part where Mr. Kido made a mistake in the document. I decided that it was illegal to act as a power harassment beyond the scope of guidance, and ordered the prefecture to pay 1 million yen.
On the other hand, he said, "Although it is recognized that Mr. Kido developed depression three months before his death, the power harassment of his seniors cannot be said to deny his personality." No causal relationship with suicide was found.
Father "I'm not convinced I want you to admit that the Hyogo Prefectural Police did it."
Daichi Kido's father, Kazuhito, received four investigation reports from the Hyogo Prefectural Police two months after his suicide, but most of them were painted black.
After hearing 128 people, including riot police bosses and colleagues, he filed a suspicious trial with the conclusion that the cause of the suicide was unknown.
After the decision, Mr. Kazuhito held a press conference in Kobe, saying, "I'm so disappointed with the decision, and I'm thrilled. I'm sorry I couldn't make a good report, but the prefectural police's black-painted report. I've come this far from the calligraphy, so I'll do my best a little more. ”I want the Hyogo Prefectural Police to properly acknowledge what they have done.”
In addition, Morihiro Ichikawa, a lawyer on the plaintiff's side, said, "If there is no causal relationship between power harassment and depression, it means that the onset is due to personal circumstances unrelated to work. I can't think of anything other than being driven by power harassment, and the judgment is very dissatisfied and appeals. "
Hyogo Prefectural Police "I want to consider the content of the decision and decide what to do"
Mitsuhiro Fukuda, Inspector General of the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, commented, "We would like to consider the content of the decision and discuss with related organizations to decide what to do in the future."
