Justice minister proposes introducing conspiracy charge

TOKYO, Japan - Justice Minister Mayumi Moriyama addresses a meeting of the Legislative Council, her advisory panel, on Sept. 3. She proposed revising the law on organized crime to enable investigative authorities to file charges against people who conspire to commit such crimes. The proposal is in line with the Japanese government's intention to ratify a treaty on international organized crimes, which obliges signatory nations to punish conspirators even if they do not commit actual crimes.
