Ogata was arrested and convicted of fraud in 2007 in connection with the sale of the headquarters of Chongryon, the de facto North Korean embassy in Japan. Ogata was found to have conspired with co-defendant Tadao Mitsui to have Chongryon transfer ownership of its building to a company managed by Ogata on the pretext of having found a buyer for the property. Ogata's conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court of Japan in 2014, although he received a suspended prison sentence and was never actually imprisoned.^[1] Ogata claimed that the purchase was intended to keep the building from being seized by creditors due to the threat of reprisal from North Korea.^[2]
