Senior police and prosecutor officials Monday directly apologized to the bereaved family of a former adviser to Japanese machinery maker Ohkawara Kakohki once accused of an illegal export.
The officials visited the grave of Shizuo Aishima, who was found to have stomach cancer during his detention and later died while being wrongfully indicted in a case involving the machinery maker, at a cemetery in Yokohama at around 10:30 a.m.
