◆ Attorney’s Statement

We once again clearly confirm that there was no illegal medication other than legal treatment in the course of medical procedures.

I understand that no charges of illegal medication have been confirmed even in the police investigation so far.

The fact that no illegal medication has been taken is evidenced by consistent statements made by the head of the hospital, etc.

In the context of the prosecution’s investigation and deliberation, the reports are seriously damaging to individuals.

We sincerely ask you to refrain from speculative reporting
