The representative of a consulting company in Tokyo that is engaged in renewable energy business has been indicted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Special Investigation Division for embezzlement in the course of business for illegally transferring 4 million yen of funds deposited in the LLC's account to his company. According to the officials, the representative has denied the charges.
The accused is Kiyoshi Miura, 43, the representative of TRIBAYCAPITAL, a consulting firm in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
According to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Special Investigation Department, Mr. Miura is accused of embezzlement in the course of business for illegally transferring 4 million yen of funds deposited in the account of a limited liability company in Tokyo for the purpose of using it to repay his company's debts.
According to the people involved, this limited liability company was operated for the purpose of developing a solar power generation project planned in Hyogo Prefecture, and Representative Miura was in charge of the business, but it is believed that the representative withdrew funds without the permission of the investors and used them to repay the debts of other projects.
On the other hand, Mr. Miura denied the contents of the indictment, claiming that "the funds received are remuneration for outsourcing and do not constitute embezzlement."
Mr. Miura is the husband of international political scientist Rurei Miura, who wrote on her company's website, "I learned that my husband has been indicted. I would like to support them as a family and watch the proceedings as they develop."
