Errrrr, you're talking about the "millions of dollars tax evasion" Carlos Goshn, isn't it? I mean... You don't need to be in China to land jail time for evading millions of dollars in taxes. You talk like you should go to jail for hiding hundred of millions without paying taxes.
- vorpalhex 7y agoI was originally unsympathetic to his case as well, but reading into it it does seem like he's not getting a fair case. Unlike the US where court cases are a competition between two sides, Japan uses a single prosecutor that makes a kind of report to the court, so him getting treated unfairly is significant cause for concern. He was held for a long period of time without external contact, and has in many ways been declared guilty even though evidence is lacking. Tax evasion is a serious crime, and serious crimes deserve good faith investigation, not just sacrificing the first convenient figure.
