Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a press occasion at the Prime Minister’s Office.
Following the passage of the Law for Partial Amendment of the Act on Punishment of Organized Crimes and Control of Crime Proceeds, which is called “the Act on Punishment of the Preparation of Acts of Terrorism and Other Organized Crimes”, the Prime Minister said,
“The Act on Punishment of the Preparation of Acts of Terrorism and Other Organized Crimes” has just been passed. Based on the deliberations and discussions in the Diet, I expect this law to come into force and be applied appropriately and effectively in order to protect the lives and assets of the people.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in three years. We aim to become a State Party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) at the earliest possible timing and work closely with the international community to prevent terrorism. A law for this purpose was passed.”
