[Film & Paperback Release Confirmed!] 'Makehend', a Story of a Wrongfully Convicted President Winning Complete Acquittal – Starring Seiyo Uchino, Directed by Katsuhide Motoki, Releasing This Fall

The 'Pressance wrongful conviction incident' involved Shinobu Yamagishi, president of a listed company, who was arrested and indicted on charges of professional embezzlement and held for 248 days. The Special Investigation Department's probe was sloppy, and Yamagishi secured a complete victory, with the Osaka District Public Prosecutors Office abandoning its appeal after a not-guilty verdict in the first trial. The detailed record of the fight between the president and his dream team of lawyers to win total acquittal, titled 'Makehend! President of a TSE Listed Company vs. District Prosecutors Office', which became a major topic upon its 2023 publication, will be adapted into a movie and paperback this autumn. The film premieres November 13, and the paperback releases September 2.

Film Synopsis: Todo, president of a TSE-listed real estate developer, is arrested in 2019 on charges of 3 billion yen in professional embezzlement regarding a school land acquisition from three years prior.
