Local media reported that the employee was unaware of the lost bag until he returned home to Sumida after a train ride. The finance ministry expressed deep remorse for the incident, acknowledging that it has significantly eroded public trust. The lost bag contained not only the personal information of the suspects and recipients of marijuana seeds but also business laptops containing the employee's personal details.
The individual works within the customs and tariff bureau, but his identity has not been disclosed in public reports. As Japan continues to grapple with the cultural implications of alcohol consumption in business settings, this incident highlights the fine line between after-hours bonding and professional responsibility. The finance ministry has yet to issue further comments as the country observes a public holiday.
