Ex-yokozuna summarily indicted over assault
Print Edition
Prosecutors summarily indicted Mongolian-born former sumo grand champion Harumafuji for assaulting a junior wrestler, a local prosecutors office in Tottori, western Japan, said yesterday, in a move to seek the payment of fines rather than a trial.
Harumafuji retired last month for injuring fellow Mongolian wrestler Takanoiwa while drinking at a restaurant-bar with other wrestlers in Tottori, an incident that has threatened to taint the image of Japan鈥檚 national sport just as it was regaining popularity. The summary indictment was filed against the former 鈥測okozuna鈥 (grand champion) for causing a chop wound by hitting Takanoiwa on the head with a karaoke machine remote control, an official at the local prosecutors office said. A report by the Japan Sumo Association鈥檚 crisis management committee has found that Harumafuji, angered that Takanoiwa was checking his smart phone after being chastised for a bad attitude by yokozuna Hakuho, slapped and hit the younger wrestler.
