Ｎ国党首を書類送検＝ネット動画で区議脅迫容疑－警視庁

　ＮＨＫから国民を守る党（Ｎ国）に所属していた議員を脅す内容の動画をインターネットに投稿したとして、警視庁は２日、同党党首の立花孝志参院議員（５２）を脅迫容疑で書類送検した。関係者への取材で分かった。
　送検容疑は７月上旬、動画投稿サイト「ユーチューブ」にアップロードした動画の中で、東京都中央区の男性区議（２５）に対し「人生つぶしに行く」などと発言し、脅した疑い。
　関係者によると、区議は４月の中央区議選でＮ国から立候補し当選したが、６月末に同党を離党した。立花氏は動画上で区議をたびたび批判。区議は動画の内容をめぐり警視庁に相談していた。（2019/10/02-19:36）

Tokyo police Wednesday accused Takashi Tachibana, head of NHK kara Kokumin wo Mamoru To (Party to Protect the People from Japan Broadcasting Corp., or NHK) of threatening a former party member, informed sources said.
   The Metropolitan Police Department sent papers on Tachibana, 52, a member of the House of Councillors, the upper chamber of parliament, to public prosecutors, the sources said.
   Tachibana is suspected of posting a video on YouTube in early July intimidating the male assembly member of Tokyo's Chuo Ward, with comments such as "I will go and destroy your life," the sources said.
   The assembly member, 25, left Tachibana's party in late June after winning his seat on the party's ticket in April, the sources said. Since then, Tachibana has criticized the assembly member repeatedly online.
   Tachibana said, "I will resign as a lawmaker if found guilty."
