Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 406 Public Prosecution
"Defendant Morimoto." Judge Sakuma's voice sounded, "This court is now informing you of your litigation rights according to law. First, if you think that the judges of this case may affect the fair trial of this case, you can apply for withdrawal. Among them, the judges of this case The scope includes the members of the collegial panel, clerks, translators, and appraisers."

"Secondly, during the court trial, the defendant can present new evidence, apply for notification of new witnesses to appear in court, collect new evidence, re-identify or inspect or inspect."

"Third, the defendant can entrust others to defend, and you can also defend yourself."

"Fourth, after the court debate, you have the right to make a final statement. Have you heard the above-mentioned litigation rights clearly?"

Morimoto was standing behind the wooden fence, even though he was telling him of his right to prosecute, the authority of the criminal trial court had already overwhelmed him, so he said with a trembling voice, "The chief referee , I have heard clearly."

Judge Sakuma nodded slightly and looked towards the seat to his right, "Next, the prosecutor will read the indictment."

Iwanaga, who was sitting in the public prosecutor's seat, glanced at Chikako next to him, and then his eyes fell on the defender's seat opposite, staring at the male lawyer who looked a little sloppy in his sitting posture.Yan Yong said in a low voice, "You come to read the indictment."

The female public prosecutor got the order and got up immediately.Although she is a daughter, wearing the autumn frost and scorching sun medal, she exudes a heroic spirit.In the somewhat thin body, there was an extremely bright female voice:

"The defendant, Naoya Morimoto. He was arrested on June [-], [-], for corruption. The investigation of this case has now been concluded. The defendant, Morimoto, was suspected of corruption on March [-], [-]. , to be reviewed and prosecuted by this office. After accepting the case, this office informed the defendant that he has the right to entrust a defender and the possible legal consequences of pleading guilty and accepting punishment. He interrogated the defendant according to law, listened to the opinions of the defendant and his defender, and reviewed all Case materials. The defendant agrees that the case shall be tried under ordinary procedures."

"This office has investigated and found out according to the law: During the time when the defendant Morimoto served as a researcher at the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University from February [-]th of this year to the present, he took advantage of his convenience in the research group and the management of the joint production and research enterprise to embezzle, steal, The public research funds of the university were illegally seized by means of fraud and used for personal consumption. The specific facts are as follows."

After reading this, the female public prosecutor's voice suddenly rose a little bit, and her momentum became more aggressive, "First, the defendant used Asai Machine Tool Co., Ltd., rather than the convenience of his position in the research group, to fabricate a number of precision shaft parts commissioned to process. Contract. In the case that the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University did not entrust Asai Kiko Machine Tool Co., Ltd., it still used a false processing contract to apply to Kyoto University for appropriate funds, and a total of 23 yen was obtained.”

"Second, Cangqiao Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd. signed the "Project Research Cooperation Agreement" with the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University, and its scientific research number is AXH-2833. Among them, the defendant is responsible for the salary declaration of the personnel of the scientific research project. According to the project cooperation agreement, the club The performance salary of researchers should not exceed 20% of the public research funds spent. The defendant, Morimoto, knew this regulation and violated it many times. Take 12 yen."

"Thirdly, the defendant, Morimoto, borrowed the seven accelerating tubes of the physical experiment equipment of the Joint Research Institute of Engineering and Mechanization in the name of the Daheyuan research group, and then exported the seven accelerating tubes to Dayang Kedian Precision Co., Ltd., and received 96 million U.S. dollars, and embezzled related U.S. dollars.”

"Fourth. The defendant, Morimoto, assisted Adachi Information Technology Co., Ltd. to falsely claim the precision machinery equipment procurement subsidies allocated by the city hall. The precision machinery equipment subsidies involved in this case can only be claimed by qualified clubs. The defendant knowingly When the buyer was not Adachi Information Industry Co., Ltd., it used its authority as an expert hired in Kyoto Prefecture to assist the company in applying for subsidies and embezzled 8 yen in subsidies.”

"To sum up, the defendant Morimoto embezzled public funds totaling 168 yen."

"After investigation, the defendant Morimoto was arrested in the building of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University on May [-], [-]."

"The evidence collection procedure in this case is legal, and the content is objective and true, which is sufficient to determine the facts of the allegations. The defendant Morimoto has no objection to the alleged criminal facts and evidence, and voluntarily pleaded guilty and accepted punishment."

Morimoto's face was obviously pale when he heard the accusation from the prosecutor's office, especially when he heard the huge amount of embezzlement, his whole body trembled unconsciously.

Only Qian Hezi sternly said: "This office believes that the defendant Morimoto took advantage of his position to obtain public research funds through various means and illegally occupied them. His behavior has violated the national law and violated the provisions of Article 370 of the Criminal Law. The facts of the crime are clear, the evidence is reliable and sufficient, and he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of corruption. The defendant, Morimoto, truthfully confessed the facts of the crime after arriving at the case, and he was punished in accordance with the provisions of Article 60, Paragraph 30, No. [-] of the Criminal Law. The defendant, Morimoto, pleaded guilty If you accept punishment, you will be dealt with leniently in accordance with Article [-] of the Criminal Procedure Law."

"Defendant Morimoto embezzled a particularly large amount and should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years in accordance with the law. However, since he has pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, this department believes that the punishment can be mitigated, so it is recommended that the sentence should be fixed-term imprisonment of eight years. Now according to the "Criminal Procedure Law" Article 170 According to the provisions of Article [-], if you file a public prosecution, please judge according to law!"

The female public prosecutor's expression stood solemnly. At this moment, the monstrous aura unique to prosecutors came rolling in like waves.The crowd in the auditorium couldn't help but hold their breath when they heard this stern accusation.Although the magistrate has not yet issued a sentence, at this moment, the defendant standing behind the wooden fence seems to have become a sinner who needs to kneel down, accepting the punishment for his evil deeds from the Huanghuang National Law.

After the indictment was read out, the eyes of many university executives immediately fell on Morimoto who was right in the dock.If the young researcher in front of him pleads guilty to the entire amount of 1.6 million yen in corruption, he will bear all of it, and the turmoil brought about by this criminal case to the university will also be temporarily stopped.As long as he admits it, at least the university will be safe.This is the consensus reached after discussions among many high-level schools.Although Morimoto in front of him has signed the affidavit of plea and punishment, he can only feel relieved when he hears that he pleaded guilty in person.

Judge Sakuma looked up at Morimoto in front of him, and said:

"Defendant, is the indictment you received consistent with what was read today?"

"Consistent."

"Do you have any objection to the criminal facts and charges charged in the indictment?"
