I think the whole thing was a trumped up, political prosecution.

I don't have much of anything to go off of, but the following sentence from the excerpt makes me think this was quite a lot of fake charges. How do you "under-report future income"?

was arrested in November 2018 on financial misconduct charges of under-reporting his future compensation and breach of trust.

In America if something like that is true the SEC imposes a fine. We don’t throw people in jail. It’s not a crime. I’ve never heard of any similar prosecution against any Japanese executive officer. I don’t like how prosecutors in allegedly developed countries are pursuing political protections. It’s antidemocratic.
