As we reported to you a few days ago, Yuji Naka, the main creator of My voiceHe was sentenced to more than two years in prison. However, in the end, Creative Design will not go to jail.
After Naka’s lawyers requested a less severe sentence for Naka and the possibility of not going to jail, Judge Madoka Hirota granted the requests.
The final verdict, we told you, was 2.5 years in prison and a US$1.2 million fine for Naka for using inside information about Square Enix’s projects to illegally enrich himself. However, the judge granted a conditional suspension of the sentence for 4 years.

Yuji Naka will avoid prison
This means that Naka will not go to prison, but the position will be active for the next four years. If the creator wanted to avoid going to jail, not only would he have to pay the million dollar fine, but he would also not have to repeat any illegal act in the said period. Otherwise, the sentence will apply and he will now have to go to prison and serve 2 years and 6 months of a criminal sentence there.
This was determined not only because Naka confessed to the charges against him, but in the end he “showed repentance” (Heb Jiji Press). Let us remember that the fine was added precisely because he had not previously shown any signs of remorse. However, the judge in her final ruling considered that the suspension of the prison order was appropriate.
In case you missed it: The inside information Yuji Naka gleaned from is from a game that failed.
