There is the Japanese ‘get out of jail free’ card.

In post-war Japanese any single mistake will force someone to step down from their position. These days in Japan mistake after mistake, scandal after scandal keep happening while no one step down. Those scandals just keep add in the future.

Dodgy? I would not call falsification of data for more than a decade "dodgy". And again, who are the responsible for this? Let me answer. Nobody is responsible because the people involved are Japanese protected by the government.
