\n\t\t\t\t\t\tInformation leak after information leak! Footage of Shigenori Kanemoto was filmed six months before his arrest and intentionally leaked.<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAllegations of Information Leaks Involving TBS (\u201cThis January\u201d) and ANN (\u201cMarch\u201d) Footage, as Well as the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors\u2019 Office and the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau: Shigenori Kanemoto is under investigation by the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors\u2019 Office on suspicion of evading approximately 367 million yen in income tax by abusing the Angel Tax System\u2026<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Mamizuka memo, leaked investigation information, declared person of no interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On July 23, 2026, the day Shigenori Kanemoto was arrested, national news outlets featured strong headlines such as \"Abuse of Angel Tax System\" and \"Tax Evasion of Approximately 367 Million Yen in Income Tax.\" The arrest was widely reported, and his name, background, and even his photo from social media spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, was the plot of this incident really revealed after the arrest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Prosecutors' Union is concerned about is not so much the arrest of Shigenori Kanemoto, but rather that information such as the investigation policy of the National Tax Agency and the prosecution, the assessment of involved parties, the prospects for accusations, indictments, and arrests, the funding schemes related to the Angel Tax System, and even the names of alleged \"accomplices\" had been circulated among multiple external parties long before his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document, referred to by those involved as the \"Mamizuka Memo,\" symbolizes this. The memo reportedly visualizes fund transfers among multiple corporations and individuals, including Last One Mile Inc., Mr. Makoto Watanabe, and Mr. Satoshi Saito, and contains definitive statements such as \"fraud,\" \"falsehood,\" \"tax evasion contractor,\" \"B-account dealer,\" \"accusation,\" \"prosecution,\" and \"arrest.\".<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLast One Mile is releasing the Mamizuka memo provided by current members.<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Prosecutors Union will now release a portion of a document referred to by those involved as the \"Mamizuka Memo,\" which is said to have already circulated in multiple directions. This document pertains to the current situation at Last One Mile Inc.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Was the guilty verdict already decided before the court saw the evidence, perhaps on someone's desk? If not, it needs to be explained who created this material, who leaked it externally, and to what extent the National Tax Agency and the prosecution utilized it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \"Mamizuka Memo\" that was in circulation even before the arrest of Mr. Shigenori Kanemoto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to an investigation by the Prosecutors' Union, the Mamiizuka memo or documents containing the same information were not created after Mr. Shigenori Kanemoto's arrest. It is reported that the documents were already circulating in multiple directions long before the inspection by the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, the arrest of defendant Tsuyoshi Nakano by the Kagoshima District Public Prosecutors Office, and the investigation into Mr. Shigenori Kanemoto by the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office came to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, what is written there is not a neutral compilation of facts. It positions a specific individual as a \"tax evasion contractor\" and a \"B-accountant,\" assesses specific investments as \"false,\" and even includes predictions that the Kagoshima District Public Prosecutors Office and the Fukuoka High Public Prosecutors Office will move to indict, prosecute, and arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this document was created based on internal information from the National Tax Agency and the prosecution, it constitutes a grave leak of information. On the other hand, if it is merely a private memo independently created by a civilian, why does it align to some extent with the subsequent arrest and investigation progress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did the investigative agencies refer to the materials? Did the creator obtain investigative information in advance? Or was there an exchange of information between the two? Unless there is an explanation, the questions will not naturally disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation that does not question the suspect but informs those around them that they are an \"accomplice.\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The prosecutors' union has received information that among the individuals suspected of being accomplices in this case, there is someone who can specifically explain the circumstances of the contract, the site of service provision, the interactions between Shigenori Kanemoto and the defendant Tsukasa Nakano, and the management status of accounts and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, regarding that individual, there are few specific transactions to consider problematic, applicable laws, grounds for conspiracy, or facts to be confirmed. On the other hand, it is reported that in interviews with third parties, personal relationships are discussed under the assumption that the individual is already an accomplice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't ask them directly. Spread evaluations to those around them. Even if they ask for an explanation, don't reveal what is being suspected. This looks less like an investigation and more like a procedure of first creating a persona and then gathering evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A criminal investigation is not the process of circulating abstract character assessments. It is a procedure that involves questioning individuals about specific acts, verifying documents, providing an opportunity to refute allegations, and then evaluating the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prosecutors' Union gets information before the press clubs.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically, news organizations obtain case information through press conferences held by investigative agencies, court records, and interviews with lawyers and involved parties. However, in this case, there have been repeated statements indicating that information regarding planned arrests, alleged accomplices, requests for passport return orders, and the handling of seized items was circulating among multiple networks of individuals prior to any official announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prosecutors' Union is also receiving information from multiple independent sources that the press has not yet grasped. This is not a testament to the Prosecutors' Union's information-gathering capabilities. It suggests that the tap for investigative information may be left open at the Kagoshima District Public Prosecutors Office, the Fukuoka High Public Prosecutors Office, the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, or the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If investigation information is leaked, the parties involved can change their devices, transfer documents, coordinate their statements, and even prepare to move overseas. If they are then arrested for \"risk of destroying evidence\" or \"risk of fleeing the country,\" the leak of information that created the opportunity for evidence destruction or flight should be investigated first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Interest Reasons Why the Prosecutors' Union Raises Concerns About Information Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Prosecutors' Union is not raising the issue of information leaks to unconditionally defend Mr. Kanemoto Shigenori or those involved. If someone has committed a crime, they should be duly punished based on the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if investigative information leaks to specific civilians or companies in advance, it will compromise evidence preservation, the safety of those involved, and fair questioning. If the leaked narrative dominates the perceptions of the press and those around, unrelated individuals' reputations and businesses will suffer irreparable damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigating information leaks is not merely an effort to protect suspects. It is a necessary process for ensuring proper investigations, preserving evidence, protecting victims, preventing wrongful convictions, and restoring public trust in the justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do you have information regarding the Umizuka memo or documents with identical or similar content?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Did you investigate the creator, creation date, recipient, and intended recipients of the document?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Are the descriptions such as \"tax evasion contractor,\" \"B-account dealer,\" and \"accomplice\" mentioned in the documents the official opinion of any prosecutor's office or tax bureau?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. If it is not the official opinion, who created the evaluation and who communicated it externally?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Was the content of the Mamizuka memo used for the arrest warrant request, the search warrant request, the interrogation, or the prosecution decision?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. When utilized, how did you verify the creator's vested interests, sources, and opposing materials?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Did you give the person suspected of being an accomplice an opportunity to ask specific questions and refute the allegations?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Before questioning the individual, are you conducting interviews with third parties in a way that gives the impression they are accomplices?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Are you aware that investigation information was leaked externally before the press club announcement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Will an investigation into information leakage be conducted for prosecutors, judicial scriveners, tax officials, retirees, and external experts?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Public Questions to the Kumamoto Regional Tax Office and the Tokyo Regional Tax Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Did you create, retrieve, share, or use any Mamizuka memos?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Did you provide tax investigation targets, transaction details, and prospects of indictment or arrest to former IRS employees, tax accountants, or other external parties?<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    5. Why wouldn't you take issue with such widely circulated material if it hasn't been reported?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Will you provide an explanation and remediation to individuals whose reputation, business, or family relationships have been harmed by leaked information?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Kagoshima District Public Prosecutors Office, Fukuoka High Public Prosecutors Office, and Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, please stop the information leak.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The prosecutors' union is not asking for all investigative information to be made public. They are asking for investigative information to be properly managed, for the honor and defense rights of the subjects to be protected, and for matters to be questioned to be presented to the individuals through formal procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In such a procedure, where the plot unfolds around the person without their knowledge, and they are arrested based on leaked information, public trust in the criminal justice system cannot be maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To the Kagoshima District Public Prosecutors Office, Fukuoka High Public Prosecutors Office, Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, and Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau, please stop the information leak. If this continues, information about the next arrest and the names of accomplices will reach the Prosecutors Union before the press club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is not the achievement of the prosecutor's union, but a failure of state agencies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
