Should such a govt be trusted ?

First world country crossed with a third world country.

I guess fairness is not a word to be used in this judicial system. How can they not get to the bottom of this? Who’s seeking a raise or promotion?

No arrests or jail time for provably corrupt bureaucrats? Until these villains start getting sent to prison they will never change their behaviour.

The government has responded by saying the discount was due to costs that the school operator, Moritomo Gakuen, had to shoulder in removing *underground waste*** at the plot.**

The above-ground waste is what concerns most of us. That's where the real dirty plot played out. Happy to see the Kagoikes arrested but their government enablers walked away pikapika

Absolutely correct! FYI Judges in Japan are not independent but simply appointed bureaucrats worried about their jobs. They seem not to be able to justify their decisions which are often based on "feelings" rather than specific laws.

Precisely. Japanese Judges and their back office teams can ignore irrefutable evidence medical reports everything and base their decisions on their extremely limited viewpoint. They are in no way qualified to handle cases involving foreign plaintiffs or defendants.

Justice is as rare as sincerity in Japan.

It's not just foreign nationals who get screwed by the system.

Are you saying they're innocent?

The husband and wife team who ran the school spent months locked up without trial. It's not just foreign nationals who get screwed by the system.

Huh. Funny. After the Carlos Ghosn incident, I thought that Japanese authorities had found some kind of regulatory zeal and were now going to aggressively investigate all white collar crimes. But they seem less than enthusiastic to pursue this one. I wonder why that is...
