Tokyo police referred a minpaku private lodging operator in the capital and two Chinese nationals, including its leader, to public prosecutors Tuesday on suspicion of offering its services on weekdays in violation of a local regulation and ignoring an improvement order.
The company and individuals allegedly breached the law on private lodging.
The suspects have admitted the allegations in questioning by the Metropolitan Police Department. The 34-year-old male leader of the company, K-carve Life, based in Tokyo＊s Shinjuku Ward, told investigators that he believed its services were acceptable because other operators were doing the same. The MPD called on the prosecutors to indict the suspects.
