  • (AKS) A Series of Controversies Concerning Yamaguchi Maho
    • (AKS) We have received confirmation from the Niigata Police Department that the only ones being referred [for prosecution] are the two suspects that claimed to be fans, and that if there were others that can be confirmed to be accomplices then in general they would be referred as well.
    • (AKS) As there are no NGT48 members that have been referred [for prosecution], our company believes that none of the NGT48 members were involved in illegal activities.
    • (AKS) In the report from the 3rd party committee’s independent investigation, it also states that they conclude that there were in fact no NGT48 members involved in that incident.
    • (AKS) We acknowledge that this report supports the opinion of the company.

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.
