The Tokyo District Court handed a suspended three-year prison term to a bankrupt condominium developer Tuesday for knowingly selling defective condos designed by disgraced architect Hidetsugu Aneha and defrauding his clients out of about ¥415 million.
Susumu Ojima, former president of Huser Ltd., is the last of six people indicted over the quake-resistance fabrication scam to be handed a verdict.
The Supreme Court finalized Aneha's five-year prison term and a fine of ¥1.8 million last month and four others have had their suspended prison terms finalized.
