Japanese incidents related to the personal information

In november, 2011, five people including a PI along with lawyers got arrested for obtaining residential/Family records without the purpose of litigation. This happened because they worked for the Japanese biggest anti social syndicate and were asked to search the household of the police investigators who are in charge of the syndicate.

In 2004, there waa a huge political scandal with egards to the respective number of politicaians failing to make mandatory social pension payments even though they are on the side of collectin it. During that heat up, a lot of politicians were exposed of their social pension paymenbt records by mostly magazine jernalists who provably used a rat inside social insurance offices. Even then Prime ministe was exposed of the record and was accused of his partial default of due payments. The prime minister survived the accusation but some of them wer kicked out ot the political stage.

In 2000, then JP’s PM got involved in prostitution scandal because when he was young, he was allegedly arrested for visiting an illegal brothel. Rumor has it someone working for the police disclose the criminal record of them PM. And soon after that bunch of ex policemen who managed PI agency got arrested for bribing incumbent police officers and obtained criminal records.

In 2005 the Personal Information Protection Act was enforced. Some believes above two incidents affected the enforcement of this act.
