On January 19, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office raided the home of “Tribay Capital,” an investment company in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and its representative, who is facing criminal charges for defrauding the company of approximately 1 billion yen under the guise of investing in a solar power generation project.

The representative of the investment company is Kiyoshi Miura, whose official Twitter profile reads as follows

I am the MD of TRIBAY CAPITAL group, the representative of TRIBAY Corporation, and a member of the board of directors of the companies in which we invest.

The article says, “I am a director of TRIBAY CAPITAL GROUP.

In fact, the man’s wife is Rurei Miura, an international political scientist who is frequently seen on TV.

According to the source, Mr. Kiyoshi approached the representative of another Tokyo-based company with a plan to build a solar power plant in Hyogo Prefecture, but in fact there was no chance of construction, and it is suspected that he defrauded the company of approximately 1 billion yen in investment.

In response to this news report, some people suggested that the representative’s wife might be “Rurei. In response, Rurei posted a comment on the website of the company he represents, “Wildcat Research Institute Co.

In the comment, Rurei acknowledged that Kiyoshi is her husband and that she was under investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and then added

In the comment, the company acknowledged that Mr. Kiyoshi is her husband and that the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office was investigating the company. As for my family, we will continue to support my husband and watch the transition of the situation.

The company announced that it was “very pleased” with the results of the investigation. Rurei denied any involvement in the management of her husband’s company, saying that she had nothing to do with it.

Mr. Rurei and my husband’s company are in the same building, and both are on the same floor. That does not mean that Mr. Rurei has anything to do with the case, but it does lead to all sorts of speculation.

If Mr. Seishi should happen to be arrested and charged with a billion-yen fraud, and if he is found guilty at trial, he could face jail time. Mr. Rurei frequently appears on TV and other media as a commentator, but he will probably lose his position on news programs that deal with news and other topics. The couple will probably face a crisis together.

Rurei has announced that she will “support her husband. Depending on what happens next, it may be difficult for Rurei to continue to be active in the TV industry.
