Nakanishi is a Japanese citizen. He was detained back in July, but the details of his persecution were revealed in a BT-channel report only in September. It was alleged that the man "collected and transmitted military intelligence information to the Japanese special services."
The trial against the Japanese man begins on January 10 in the Minsk City Court. He is charged under Article 358-1 of the Criminal Code (agent activity). Judge Anzhela Kastsiukevich will handle the trial in a closed session. The Japanese citizen faces up to 7 years in a penal colony.
