Ai Fukuhara is facing a prison sentence of between 2 and 20 years for kidnapping her son, and the local police department has intervened in the investigation.
According to reports, after Ai Fukuhara and her ex-husband Jiang Hongjie divorced, the two had a dispute over the handover of their 4-year-old son. Jiang Hongjie eventually lost patience with Ai Fukuhara and filed a criminal complaint with the Metropolitan Police Department. Police have opened an investigation into the case. Ai Fukuhara responded in an interview that she had received an inquiry and said that there was no problem. According to article 226 of the Japanese penal code, Ai Fukuhara's case may be suspected of kidnapping children abroad, and the criminal penalty is between 2 and 20 years in prison. Japanese media said that in July 2021, Ai Fukuhara and Jiang Hongjie divorced. Ai Fukuhara did not hand over her son to Jiang Hongjie in accordance with the court decision, but took the child to live outside Japan. The incident attracted a lot of attention because Ai Fukuhara is a popular table tennis player who has represented the Japanese national team at the Olympics. For this event, various voices appeared in society.
I hope that Ai Fukuhara's incident can be properly resolved, and at the same time, I also remind everyone to abide by laws and regulations and not to act harmful to others.
