2 S Koreans arrested in Japan last year were part of N Korea cash operation: sources

But Japanese prosecutors have decided not to indict them and the pair are no longer in custody.

Knowing the judicial system in Japan, this is another way of saying Japan didn't have any evidence to prosecute them.

Why is this even in the news?

But Japanese prosecutors have decided not to indict them and the pair are no longer in custody.

The tabloids and even Kyodo in this case have many stories of NK operations in Japan from pachinko parlors to money laundering ships and schools but there never seem to be any prosecutions.

Qui bono, I would reckon the LDP financially benefits from semi-official relations with NK in several respects.

So where's the cooperation from South Korean authorities on this? These two weren't on their radar?

And Kyodo wouldn't fine out why they are not being prosecuted, why even bother publishing the story.

Journalism at it's finest.

Shut down the pachinko parlors for starters.
