9,000 cases of improperly sold insurance,

Playing games with the terminology! Pressure to sell is the cause, and what they did was illegal!

Once the internal investigation is concluded, Japan Post Insurance has said it will consider imposing punishments such as disqualifying insurance agents who violated law or internal rules.

Disqualifying agents for violating law? In a country where rule of law prevails, they would be prosecuted and condemned by the justice if found guilty. Oh yeah but we are talking about Japan, this is still mafia world here and these agents are not named Ghosn I guess.

It is and was not unexpected.

JP employees are NOT professional insurance agents. To begin with, even professional agents for the insurance companies, though trained and licensed do not understand and know enough about the insurance that they sell. This is brought to light only because Japan does have "over sight" systems in place. Many insurance companies do not even have such systems in place but "adjusters" in place to "adjust" and change to "correct" any errors and mishandling made with out any open disclosures.

In the US, the banks now sell insurance and securities, hiring professionals from those industries. Even then, they have many errors and mishandling of sales.
