Public prosecutors demanded two years' imprisonment and a fine of 1 million yen on Tuesday for a former employee of SoftBank Corp. over a leak of confidential corporate information to a Russian diplomat.
   In the first hearing at Tokyo District Court, Yutaka Araki, 48, former chief of the major Japanese mobile communications carrier's information technology promotion headquarters, pleaded guilty to violating the unfair competition prevention law.
   Araki was indicted for accessing a server of the firm using an office computer on Feb. 18 and March 26, 2019, and stealing confidential manuals related to operation verifications for SoftBank's base stations.
   He said during the court hearing that he was persuaded by the then Russian deputy trade representative to take photos of an office computer displaying confidential information and encode the photo data using his own computer.
   Araki admitted that he accepted cash twice totaling 400,000 yen in return for the data. "I refused once, but I became willing to help him," he said. "I did a stupid thing."
