の続き。Continuation.

Yesterday’s NHK Television brought up the news, that the Aichi Prefectural Police arrested famous entertainer HAGA Kenji 羽賀研二 on suspicion of false registration.
A core member of Japan’s largest yakuza gang and the vice president of the Japan Federation of Judicial Scriveners Associations were arrested on the same charges. This is a major social incident that goes beyond HAGA Kenji.
The seven suspects include MATSUYAMA Takeshi (69), a senior member of the Kodo-kai 弘道会, a core organization of the designated crime organization Yamaguchi-gumi, and NOZAKI Fumio (57), vice president of the Japan Federation of Judicial Scriveners Associations.
The Kodo-kai is a YAKUZA criminal organization based in Nagoya, Japan. It is a secondary organization of the Sixth Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest known YAKUZA syndicate in Japan.

MATSUYAMA Takeshi is the general chairman of the Kodo-kai, from which the current 6th generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi came. No matter how you look at it, the headline for this news should be “Shock to the legal profession, vice-chairman of the Japan Federation of Judicial Scriveners Associations arrested along with a senior member of the Yamaguchi-gumi,” not Haga Kenji.
The “Japan Federation of Judicial Scriveners Associations” is not some shady organization but the national umbrella organization for judicial scriveners associations, which are public organizations with which judicial scriveners are required to register, just like bar associations, and it is no laughing matter that its vice-president teamed up with HAGA Kenji to commit a crime.

This public news clearly manifests again the interrelationship between the YAKUZA and the Japanese show business, entertainment and music industry.

Aichi Prefectural Police arrests entertainer Kenji Haga on suspicion of false registration

NHK 2024/9/25

Kenji Haga, a celebrity, was arrested by the police on charges of transferring ownership to a company where he was the representative director and falsely registering the property in an attempt to avoid seizure of real estate he owned.

Police have not revealed whether the suspect was admitted or denied, as it would hinder the investigation.
Those arrested were entertainer Kenji Haga (real name), suspect Mikio Toma (63), executive of Kodokai, the core organization of the designated organized crime group Yamaguchi-gumi, suspect Takeshi Matsuyama (69), and vice president of the Japan Federation of Judicial Scriveners Associations. There are seven men and women, including the chairman, Fumio Nozaki (57).

According to the police, the suspects last year seized buildings and land owned by Haga in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture, in order to compensate victims of fraud cases involving him in the past, amounting to approximately 400 million yen. In an attempt to escape, he transferred ownership to a company where he is the representative director and made false registrations, and is suspected of obstruction of compulsory execution and false recording of the original electronic notarized deed.

Suspect Haga was arrested by Aichi Prefectural Police investigators on the street in Chatan Town, and was transferred by plane to Chubu Airport on the evening of the 25th.
Police are currently investigating the details of the incident, including their respective roles.
Four years ago, Haga was sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in prison for concealing assets that could be used to pay compensation to victims, and he then resumed his talent career.
Police have not disclosed the identity of the suspects as it would hinder the investigation.

刑事事件
詳細は「羽賀研二未公開株詐欺事件」を参照
2007年6月30日、未公開株を元値を隠して高値で売り付けて債務を逃れようとした容疑で、渡辺二郎らとともに逮捕され、詐欺・恐喝未遂（二項）の罪で起訴された。これにより同年7月23日、東京シックスプロダクションを解雇された。2008年11月28日、一審大阪地方裁判所では無罪判決だったが[10]、2011年6月17日の二審大阪高等裁判所では懲役6年が言い渡される。これは一審で羽賀の無罪に繋がる証言が偽証だったためで、それをした元歯科医師の男は偽証罪で有罪となっている。羽賀は最高裁判所へ上告したが、2013年3月28日付で最高裁が上告棄却を決定したことにより、懲役6年の実刑判決が確定し、沖縄刑務所に服役。
