トヨタ自動車前常務役員のジュリー・ハンプ容疑者(55)が麻薬取締法違反(輸入)容疑で逮捕された事件で、東京地検は7日、同容疑者を勾留期限の8日までに釈放する方針を固めた。
In the incident that suspect Julie Hamp, former Toyota Managing Officer (55) was arrested for alleged Narcotics Control Law violations (imports), the 7th Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has made a final decision to release her by July 8 at the end of her detention period.
不起訴(起訴猶予)とする見通し。地検は、同容疑者が輸入したオキシコドンは膝の痛みを止める目的で家族から送ってもらったものだったことなどから、悪質性は低いと判断したとみられる。
The outlook is for no prosecution. The prosecutors have decided, on the basis that the suspect's family sent her the imported oxycodone to alleviate knee pain, that her malicious intent was low.
According to involved persons, suspect Hamp consistently said that "she knew that it was regulated in Japan" but that she "did not think it was a drug" and denied the charges.

トヨタ自動車の前役員ハンプ容疑者を不起訴へ 「悪質性低い」と判断 #ldnews http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/10319191/ … 規制薬品と知っていての行為、これを不起訴にしたら類似版はいくらでも出てくるだろう。不起訴になるならリスクゼロだからねえ。トヨタが作った抜け穴になる。
....If no prosecution, it is because that means there is zero risk to them [prosecutors]. This becomes the loophole that Toyota made.
