status = suspended sentence in Japan. No matter what, it seems, if you are a gov't official, or some body else who has high social status, you will never go to jail. I'll ask it again, how do you expect to deter crime if there is no consequence?

They just have to share the loot with the judge.

What about those who GAVE the bribes? Or is it just considered Marketing and Promotion Expenses?

Hello suspended sentence again. Japan must have a lot of crims walking on the streets. He is 75 now. I wonder if he will last that long to complete his 'SUSPENDED SENTENCE, OR WILL HE TAKE IT WITH HIM TO HIS BLACK HOLE?'

Suspended sentencing makes a lot of sense in many cases. The guilt now have a criminal record, they have to stay squeaky clean for a number of years, and it helps control the prison population - which costs a lot of money. I don't always agree with it but I understand why it is useful.

Not to bring about mass hysteria, but the Saitama area seems to be the epicenter of crime lately. How many stories on JT are based in Saitama? The JCops may want to have a closer look at the crime rates there and focus on Blue and white collar crime.
