Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey, I heard Tachibana’s bail was denied again! What do you think?
Roku: Well, considering he’s been indicted for defamation, it’s understandable that bail is difficult to secure. His request was denied last year as well, so the situation is tough.
Chako: But why was it denied twice?
Navi: Legally, it’s likely because the court believes there’s a risk of the defendant fleeing or tampering with evidence.
Roku: I see. So it won’t be easy for him to get out.
Chako: Hmm, it seems like this will also affect his activities as a politician.
