KAGOSHIMA -- A group of supporters of a man who was made to trample on paper bearing the names of his relatives when he was questioned by police is set to file an audit request to make a former police officer personally compensate the victim.
The group plans to file a residents audit request with the Kagoshima prefectural audit commissioner to make the former assistant police inspector who questioned the victim pay him compensation for the treatment.
The victim was questioned by prefectural police on suspicion of buying votes during a Kagoshima Prefectural Assembly election. During interrogation, the former assistant police inspector made the victim trample on paper bearing the names of his relatives.
The prefectural government paid the man damages, but the group said it was not right for the prefecture to pay for the officer's actions.
None of the 12 suspects who were questioned in the prefectural assembly election case were found guilty.
