[Last One Mile Labor Union] Board of Directors and Audit and Supervisory Committee Conceal Makoto Watanabe's Referral to Prosecutors<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\nWhile the National Tax Agency and prosecutors view this as a problem, why do they leak investigation information first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Information has been received that IRS and local prosecutor's office officials are already aware of the resident registration and residential tax issues concerning Makoto Watanabe and Satoshi Saito, and the prosecutors are also beginning to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, even before any official explanation by the National Tax Agency or the Public Prosecutors Office, information regarding the targets of the investigation, the use of addresses, Mr. Saito's actual overseas residence, the procedures involving Defendant Nakano, Mr. Takanori Shibuya's address, and even the fruitless tax inspection was leaked to press club insiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the change of residence by Mr. Watanabe and others is false, we should investigate it directly, impose taxes, and take the necessary disciplinary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do not do that and instead leak the information first, it will give Mr. Watanabe's side time to organize evidence, get their stories straight, move assets, change addresses, and prepare for media coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would the National Tax Agency really miss the mark by raiding the wrong place, and then even leak the cause of that misfire to the press club?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecutors are themselves providing new material every time for Makoto Watanabe and the other members to mock them as the \"Angel Prosecutor.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measures Sought by the Last Mile Labor Union<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Last Mile Inc. shall make this matter a formal agenda item for the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Completely exclude Makoto Watanabe from the selection of the investigative contractor, access to evidence, interviews with relevant parties, and approval of the investigation results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Preserve the records of resident card history, moving-out notification, moving-in notification, passport, travel records, visa, housing contract, bank account, telecommunications, company employment, meetings, expenses, and executive compensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Verify the actual center of living of Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Saito for each year by independent tax accountants, attorneys, and investigation experts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Confirm the actual residency status for all addresses used on the resident registry, including the address of Mr. Takanori Shibuya, the company address of the defendant Satsuki Nakano, the property in Kagoshima, and others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Investigate the contracts, work services, deliverables, incoming and outgoing payments, and tax processing regarding the compensation paid by Mr. Satoshi Saito to Mr. Keita Nakano and other members of the Nakano family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Conduct a comprehensive investigation of all transactions utilizing overseas corporations, income shifting, expense reallocation, and related-party transactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If any errors are found regarding resident tax, income tax, executive compensation, withholding tax, and payroll reports, make the corrections to the relevant local governments and tax office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

You cannot just send your certificate of residence abroad while leaving your liabilities in Japan.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is said that Makoto Watanabe calls prosecutors involved in the angel tax system \"angel prosecutors\" and mocks them as figures who understand neither the system nor the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the incompetence of the prosecution and the legality of the changes in residence registration of Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Satoshi Saito do not mean the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before laughing at the prosecution, please show your overseas residence, visa, accounts, days of stay, living expenses, occupation, and family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you claim to have lived in Kagoshima, show when you came, where you slept, what you ate, who you met, and what work you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it is true that he was living at Takanori Shibuya's address, please explain why Mr. Watanabe was not there when the national tax officials visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you claim to have paid Keita Nakano, please show the work and deliverables for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cannot simply send your certificate of residence abroad while you yourself manage a Japanese listed company, enjoy the company's credit and profits, and send only your taxes and audits to a different address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resident records are more honest than police interrogations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is because a record remains of who moved their address, when, and to where, and whose company and property were used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Makoto Watanabe and his associates are laughing at the \"Angel Prosecutor,\" the National Tax Agency and the prosecutors are starting to track down resident records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, instead of letting information leaks ruin the investigation, please pursue their base of operations, base of wealth, and base of command all the way to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
