A 10-year prison sentence was handed down to the perpetrator of an armed robbery that occurred in broad daylight in Ginza, Tokyo, in 2023. According to the indictment and other documents, the 20-year-old male resident of Yokohama City, who was 19 years old at the time, was indicted on charges including robbery resulting in injury for acting as the perpetrator of an armed robbery incident where he stole 22 million yen in cash and other items from a house in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, in May 2023, as instructed by others, as well as stealing 74 high-end wristwatches worth approximately 310 million yen in Ginza, Tokyo.
In this trial, the man fully admitted to the charges, and the prosecution sought a 13-year prison sentence. On the other hand, the defense argued that the man was merely involved in a tempting role and sought an 8-year prison sentence.
In the trial held on the 10th, Judge Ken'yu Murase of the Gifu District Court sentenced the man to 10 years in prison, ruling that "he played a central role as the perpetrator in a case that occurred in broad daylight and had a significant impact on society."
