Yeah, never happens, just like you almost never see any big profile politician beyond bars in Japan. And Japanese CEOs are pretty much affiliated to politicians, so there you have it.
By the way it is astonishing how much the press in Japan is painting Gohn as a culprit on an ongoing basis despite any actual trial and all. The media is completely sold to power here.
