They took a deep bow. That should cover it.
In the US it’s called a slush fund.
They used 83,263 Yen over the course of 14 years, which works out to about 5,000 Yen a year. Literally just a few lost coins that nobody cared enough about to claim.
Its ridiculous that something as trivial as this is the cause of nationwide headlines. The bloody press conference they had to apologize for it probably cost the taxpayers more than the entire amount in question.
Theft is theft, regardless of the amount.
….so?
This is the one case where a deep bow is punishment enough.
This is a good news story right?
Because if not, give your head a shake Iwaki City Parks & Tourism Public Corp.
This is this „Nobody who isn’t Japanese gets why anyone is even upset about it“
Reminds me of the school principal whose life was destroyed because he filled a large cup of coffee at 7/11 instead of a medium one
