London court backs extradition of 2 men to Japan over Tokyo robbery

I'm not the biggest cheerleader of Japan's justice system, but if there's sufficient evidence, then I think it's right to extradite them. The amount of money they are alleged to have stolen is considerable, and if they also assaulted a security guard, that's worse still.

All are likely to appeal, this process could take years.

The alleged assault on the security guard was unnecessary unwarranted.

If found complicit, a term in a J prison will see harsh justice prevail.

These guys seem to be involved in a series of crimes. If guilty hope they receive full punishments as letting these types of criminals getaway with it just breeds more of the same. It’s not like society will miss them,

Japan does not have an extradition treaty with the uk.

Agreed. Special case it seems, and maybe a start to an e-treaty.

Heaed to the slammer for sure.

Good.

Not sure the evidence is as strong as they are claiming. Witnesses memories of events are questionable and proven unreliable. Not fully clear what they mean by facial recognition report but biometric evidence can if there is no contamination and it has been handled correctly can be quite strong.

Well the police will get a confession they will be locked up for years before any trial is held where they will lose. Once in the system your life is over.

Yes

Suspended sentence coming right? Or more likely a nonsensically short amount of time comp to the uk equivalent
