On 2 July 2019, the PSB charged Nakata and several others, including Tsuneoka and the student, for "preparing and conspiring to commit private war";
This misstates both the date and the legal action. On July 3, 2019, Tokyo police referred the case to prosecutors; they did not "charge" Nakata on July 2.
Full reasoning
Contemporary reporting says the action happened on July 3, 2019, not July 2. It also describes the step as 書類送検 / referred to prosecutors (sending papers to prosecutors), not a criminal charge.
That distinction matters: in Japan, police can investigate and refer a case, but prosecutors decide whether to indict. So saying the Public Security Bureau "charged" Nakata is legally inaccurate.
Supporting evidence:
- A Kyodo report, as preserved in a Hatena bookmark entry, says: "警視庁公安部は 3日 ... 5人を 書類送検 した" (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Public Security Bureau on the 3rd referred five people to prosecutors).
- AFP likewise reported on 3 July 2019 that "Tokyo Police referred two people to prosecutors" and that three others were also referred.
So the article should not say Nakata was "charged" on 2 July 2019.
