A similar complaint was also filed against Toen Boeki and a related company on Monday. The three have already been indicted for allegedly importing the clams, which are subject to economic sanctions by the Japanese government, from North Korea without authorization in violation of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law. Japan has banned imports of all North Korean products since last October as part of its sanctions against the country after Pyongyang carried out an underground nuclear explosion that month. |
