稲田検事総長、退任へ　後任は林検事長

　検察トップの稲田伸夫検事総長（６３）が７月中に勇退する見通しであることが３０日、関係者への取材で分かった。後任には東京高検検事長の林真琴氏（６２）が就くとみられる。林氏は賭けマージャン問題で辞職した黒川弘務前検事長（６３）の後任。トップとして国民の信頼回復に当たる。
　総長の定年は６５歳だが、在任期間は２年程度が慣例。一方、検事長の定年は６３歳で、稲田氏は７月で在任２年となることや、林氏が同月末に定年を迎えることから、７月中に退任し、後進に道を譲る判断をしたとみられる。（2020/06/30-12:06）

Japanese Prosecutor-General Nobuo Inada is expected to step down by the end of July, informed sources said Tuesday.
   Makoto Hayashi, 62, superintending prosecutor at the Tokyo High Public Prosecutors Office, is likely to replace Inada, 63, the sources said.
   Hayashi took the current post only in May to succeed Hiromu Kurokawa, 63, who resigned for playing mahjong for money during the coronavirus pandemic.
   The retirement age is set at 65 for the prosecutor-general, a post usually served for some two years by one person. The retirement age of a superintending prosecutor is 63.
   The tenure of Inada as prosecutor-general will reach two years in July. Hayashi will reach his retirement age as superintending prosecutor at the end of the same month.
