Japan’s defense ministry punishes over 200 personnel
Japan’s Defense Ministry has reprimanded 218 civilian and uniformed staff of the ministry and the Self-Defense Forces for misconduct. The punishment on Friday of so many people at once is very unusual.
The ministry identified four inappropriate actions. One concerns national security and the handling of specially designated secrets. The others involve fraud with allowances for diving training and duty, free meals for unqualified personnel, and power harassment.
The ministry identified 58 cases related to the handling of confidential information. These include unqualified personnel having access to the information on 38 Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels.
Defense Minister Kihara Minoru said the Defense Ministry and the SDF will work together to take thorough measures to prevent a recurrence and regain the people’s trust.
