Familie verklagt US-Seemann, der wegen tödlichem Motorradunfall in Japan noch nicht angeklagt wurde

From the article:

1. The collision happened on April 27.

2. Police have not yet referred the case to prosecutors, who will decide whether to file criminal charges.

3. Police declined to say why the sailor was not taken into custody or why the case remains under investigation after more than seven months.

4. The family is seeking roughly $772,000 from the sailor.

5. The lawyer also represented another family in a similar incident, however that sailor has left Japan is they are unable to serve papers to him. Although this sailor was convicted in May of negligent driving causing death and received a suspended 1 ½-year sentence.

6. Hence why this family have served the papers now.

U.S. politicians will pressure Japan and demand an apology again, just as they did last year.
