mercedo's Journal: Horiemon Is Released

For the first time in 94 days.

He hadn't admitted committing any wrongdoings.

The authority of Tokyo Prosecuters Office will be questioned soon.

Shades of Kenney-boy Lay there

At least in the charges- the difference is Kenney-boy profited from his crime and stayed free, while Horiemon has been in jail for several months now.

His release was realised after his lawyers asked the court three times, and he had to pay 3 million dollars in compensation. If he were convicted he would face five years imprisonment and 10 thousand dollars, so we might be able to say he 'bought' five years term by 3 million dollars.

Tokyo District Prosecuters have done well. They had him spend 3 months imprisonment and 3 million dollars. This money is called release money in short, but it will eventually work as a kind of fine.

And both are likely cheap at the price- at that level, 3 million is pocket change in comparison to what he was likely conning both customers and employees out of.
