A Japanese Self-Defense Force officer was arrested after breaking into the Chinese embassy in March. Prosecutors asked for a year and a half in prison.
[News Channel Now] Kohiro Murata, a former officer in the Japanese Self-Defense Force, broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan with a knife in March this year. The case was brought to court today. The prosecutor asked for 18 months of actual imprisonment.
The incident occurred in March of this year. Lieutenant Kodai Murata of the Japanese Self-Defense Force in the 3rd Division broke into the embassy with a knife and demanded to meet with the Chinese ambassador to Japan, Wu Jianghao. He was arrested on the spot. He was later dismissed from his post by the Ground Self-Defense Force and prosecuted by the Tokyo District Attorney's Office for illegal entry into the building and violation of gun and knife laws.
Morata confessed earlier that he "dreamed that God told him to negotiate". Therefore, he committed the crime. China has repeatedly asked Japan to show its proper attitude and punish it severely.
