大川原化工機、捜査員ら書類送検　文書破棄と虚偽文書作成容疑―警視庁

　噴霧乾燥機の不正輸出容疑で社長らが逮捕され、後に起訴が取り消された機械メーカー「大川原化工機」（横浜市）への捜査を巡り、警視庁捜査２課は２０日、立件に不利なデータを除いた捜査報告書を作成するなどしたとして、虚偽有印公文書作成・同行使と公用文書毀棄（きき）の疑いで、当時の同庁公安部捜査員ら３人を書類送検した。捜査関係者への取材で分かった。
　送検容疑は２０１９年５月、警視庁が同社製の噴霧乾燥機を使って温度実験をした際、立件に不利なデータを除外した捜査報告書を作成。２０年３月には、元役員の弁解録取書について、求めに応じ修正したように装って署名させ、その後裁断するなどした疑い。（2024/11/20-15:24）

Tokyo police have sent public prosecutors papers on three people involved in criminal investigations into machinery maker Ohkawara Kakohki Co. on suspicion of making, using and destroying documents containing falsified information.
   The Metropolitan Police Department took the action Wednesday after receiving a criminal complaint that its investigations into the Yokohama-based company over spray dryer exports were illegal.
   Sources said that the three suspects were allegedly involved in making a report in May 2019 on experiments on the Yokohama-based chemical machinery maker's spray dryer from which data unfavorable to building a case had been deliberately excluded.
   The three were also allegedly involved in making a former company executive sign a statement of his explanation during interrogation in March 2020, pretending to have modified it as requested by the former executive. They are also suspected of shredding the statement, according to the sources.
   At Ohkawara Kakohki, the MPD arrested three executives in violation of the foreign exchange law in March 2020. They were charged for exporting spray dryers that could be used for the production of biological weapons.
