Aneha put to jail in Tokyo
Disgraced former architect Hidetsugu Aneha has been detained at the Tokyo Detention House because of his involvement in a highly publicized earthquake-resistance data fabrication scandal, Kyodo News quoted prosecution authorities as saying on Thursday.
The Tokyo High Court ruled last November that Aneha falsified building structure data for six buildings during a two-year period through February 2005, the Kyodo report stated.
Aneha was also convicted of giving false testimony before the Lower House’s Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee in December 2005 over how he became involved in the fabrication process.
He was given a sentence of five years in prison and a 1.8 million yen fine in December 2006. The ruling was finalized after the Supreme Court upheld the ruling in February.
