TOKYO (TR) – Prosecutors have chosen to not prosecute a woman who was discovered in a hotel room in the capital with the founder of real estate investment company Raysum Co., Ltd. along with a stash of illegal drugs two years ago, reports Nippon News Network (Mar. 27).
As previously reported, police found Tsuyoshi Tanaka to allegedly be in possession of approximately 0.859 grams of cocaine and approximately 0.208 grams of kakuseizai (methamphetamine) together with Mona Konishi, a student at the Institute of Science Tokyo, and a second woman in a room of the hotel in Chiyoda Ward on June 24, 2024.
On Friday, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office announced the non-prosecution of Konishi, citing “insufficient evidence” as the reason.
Prior to the discovery, Tanaka, Konishi and the other woman were in the room when a male acquaintance of Konishi broke into their room. When police rushed to the scene, they searched the room and found three bags of cocaine and methamphetamine near the bed.
Tanaka founded Raysum in 1992. He served as chairman until 2021.
Last year, the Tokyo District Court handed Tanaka a suspended prison term for the possession of illegal drugs.
