Prosecutors on Monday sought a 15-year prison sentence for former Red Army Faction member Yoshimi Tanaka, who is on trial at the Tokyo District Court for the 1970 hijacking of a Japan Airlines jet and other charges.
Tanaka's defense team is scheduled to deliver closing arguments Oct. 29.
Tanaka, 53, and eight other members of the Red Army Faction hijacked the Boeing 727 on March 31, 1970, according to the indictment.
