What I don't get is how he ran away from France to avoid arrest there, yet managed to get Japanese citizenship, or at the minimum the right to work and live there. Doesn't Japan have a vetting system for foreigners who want to permanently live there? If you want to go to the USA for a few weeks they want to know if you have ever been arrested, and you have to provide all kinds of government reports like a criminal record check.
Only if you are from some dumb-assed place like Lebanon. French people - even the crooks come into the US all day long.
Not true. I know someone from western Europe who had to go through all that crap to get the right to work and iive there. He had to go through even more crap after that to apply for a green card. I know he was terrified of getting any kind of criminal conviction, and even getting arrested and released without charge because he had to supply government reports showing any criminal record, and also any arrest record.
How could MK get any government criminal record reports from France if he was due to be arrested there if he went back?
