(Atsushi Kitamura, Director-General of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau; Hiroshi Oka and Keisuke Ota of Investigation Division 3; and Hideto Nakamura of Investigation Division 21 of the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau)<br>In the background are a series of issues that could shake the foundation of inspection administration, including the long-term failure to return seized items, remarks about their loss, and even the leakage of investigative information by the public prosecutor's office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, the Global Union filed a complaint against Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau Director Atsushi Kitamura, Inspection Division 3 officials Hiroshi Oka and Keisuke Ota, and Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau Inspection Department 21 official Hideto

despite the fact that the corporate seals, personal seals, and other important items previously shared by union members were seized by the inspection departments of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau and the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau,<strong>At the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, it has still not been returned even now, approximately two years later.<\/strong>It is said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more critical is the fact that Tsuyoshi Shimazaki, a former supervising official at the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, stated multiple times that these seized items \"could not be found,\" as revealed by the \"Mamitsuka Memo\" prepared by Takeji Mamitsuka, a tax accountant and former official of the Taxation Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the memo states that<strong>Description regarding the leakage of investigation information by a senior National Tax Agency official from the Public Prosecutors Office<\/strong>was also included, but since it turned out that all the investigative information from the prosecutor's office was false, this is an extremely serious issue that shakes the very foundation of the inspection procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, when the possibility of loss regarding seized items is suggested, administrative agencies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Obligation to explain management status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>burden of proof for the propriety of evidence management<br>is understood to occur, but our union points out that \"these explanations have not been sufficiently provided.\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, despite these circumstances, our union<br>The investigation is continuing without the specific right to inspect and question being exercised.<br>and is raising concerns about this as suspected \u201csubstance-less inspections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, regarding the fact that the seizure by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau ultimately failed in connection with this matter,<br>The possibility of a connection to the prior information leak by the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau cannot be ruled out.<br>is set as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The
