Non-Prosecution of an Illegal-Labor Employer Fuels Distrust
A 69-year-old Turkish national in Yatomi, Aichi, had been arrested on suspicion of employing three overstaying Vietnamese workers at a demolition site despite knowing their status. On August 14, the Nagoya District Public Prosecutors Office declined to indict him, saying it 'judged based on the evidence.' With the reasons undisclosed, netizens vented distrust of prosecutors and a sense of unfairness toward law-abiding businesses.
