かっぱ寿司社長に逮捕状　ライバル社の営業秘密取得容疑―警視庁

　転職前に在籍していたライバル企業の営業秘密に当たる情報を不正に取得した疑いが強まったとして、警視庁が不正競争防止法違反容疑で、回転ずしチェーン「かっぱ寿司」の運営会社カッパ・クリエイト（横浜市）の田辺公己社長（４６）の逮捕状を取ったことが３０日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。
　同庁はカッパ社幹部と元部下を含む３人を近く逮捕する方針。両罰規定を適用し、法人としてのカッパ社も書類送検する。
　捜査関係者によると、田辺社長は２０２０年、元部下に働き掛けるなどして、かつて自身が役員として在籍していた同業大手「はま寿司」（東京都港区）の情報を複数回にわたり不正に取得するなどした疑いが持たれている。（2022/09/30-11:23）

Tokyo police obtained an arrest warrant for the president of the operator of the "Kappa Sushi" restaurant chain on Friday on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining confidential information on a rival company, investigative sources said.
   The Metropolitan Police Department plans to arrest Koki Tanabe, president of Kappa Create Co. , shortly on charges of violating the unfair competition prevention law.
   Another Kappa Create executive and a former subordinate to Tanabe are also expected to be arrested. In addition, the police will refer Kappa Create to prosecutors under a dual liability clause, which calls for punishing a company together with an employee who committed a crime as part of corporate activities.
   Tanabe, 46, is suspected of stealing the information over several occasions in 2020 from rival sushi restaurant chain Hama-Sushi Co., where he once served as an executive, according to the sources. Tanabe allegedly solicited the former subordinate to bring the information from Hama-Sushi.
   Tanabe worked for Tokyo-based Zensho Holdings Co. , which has Hama-Sushi and other restaurant chains under its wing, for over 20 years before moving to Kappa Create in November 2020.
