ex-Tokitsukaze Oyakata arrested

[Kintamayama 45,495]

On the 27th, the Kanda Police Station of the Metropolitan Police Department arrested former Tokitsukaze Oyakata (Masahiro Sakamoto (51), ex- Tokitsuumi), on suspicion of using a forged official document bearing a seal - using a fake disabled parking permit. Ex-Tokitsukaze is accused of displaying a fake sticker on the dashboard of his car when parking on a street in Ryogoku 4-chome, Sumida Ward, at around 9:45 a.m. on February 5th. He has admitted to the charges. It is believed that he made a color copy of a sticker issued to an acquaintance living in Tokyo and repeatedly parked illegally. Multiple fake stickers have been confirmed, and the circumstances of how he obtained them are being investigated. An investigation was conducted after a report was received in July last year in Chiyoda Ward that a car with a sticker was frequently parked on the street. The former Oyakata left the Kyokai after he was caught violating COVID rules twice in 2021. He is the father of Juryo Kiryuukou.

On the one hand, this isn't the worst offence to be caught for, on the other, clearly he ain't never been one for rules, eh...

And it is by far not the worst thing a former Tokitsukaze has been arrested for. There are not many kabu you can say this about. Is his former shisho still in prison? Maybe they can share a cell?

I think Futatsuryu died while he was still in prison. I could be wrong on that though.

Tinfoil hat on.

 

As idiotic and vile as this is, y'know, it is relatively minor. I wouldn't be surprised this is one of those cases where law enforcement are out for someone in particular (whether it's on their own behalf or not) and nail them for whatever they can.

He died long ago, got sick in prison, was released and wrote a book about his innocence

Funnily enough Tokitsukaze did work at a printing shop before joining ozumo....

What a bizarre crime. All that risky bother for a parking space.

The reason he gives is even better: "I wanted to evade crackdown"

I agreeit is completely irrational. However I can tell you in my country it is more prevalent than one might think. Usual culprits are lawyers, college professors, politicians or celebrities.
