[sumo] Yaocho thingy again, regretfully..

[Thierry Perran]

Yes, Barbara, there is an article from Mainichi with the picture taken on 
the 23rd of february in the afternoon.

Actually, the paper said that Keiji Isaji, the NSK's lawyer, asked the 
tabloid to pay 480 million yens, because of the yaocho article. It is not 
written in this article, but the money should go as follow :
88 million yens for the NSK
66 million yens for Asashhoryu
44 million yens for Tochiazuma
and 33 million yens for each of the other ozeki.

This will be a long story as the justice will see all the necessary 
witnesses. I won't be surprised to see this case going all the way to 
japanese supreme court.

Take care,
Thierry
