The defendant who was charged with violating the Forest Law for the unauthorized transport of soil to Mt. Narukami has pleaded not guilty.

In this case, the Ibaraki Prefecture forestry and lumber processing company ""Fukasaku Shoji"" and its 55-year-old representative director were indicted for transporting a large amount of soil without permission to the conservation forest of Mt. Narukami, which straddles the cities of Kiryu and Midori.

At the first hearing held at the Maebashi District Court on the 30th, the defendant and his defense team denied the charges.

He claimed innocence, saying that ""a construction company hired by the defendant transported the soil without permission,"" and that there was no fact of conspiracy. In the opening statement, the prosecution said, ""Soil was transported to the conservation forest without the permission of the prefectural governor, changing the shape of the land."""
