Amazon Japan is “fully cooperating” with a police investigation into possible sales of child pornography, the local unit of Amazon.com Inc. said in an e-mailed statement.
Aichi prefectural police conducted raids on the Internet retailer’s Tokyo headquarters and a distribution center in neighboring Chiba prefecture on Jan. 23, seeking evidence that Amazon Japan’s website may have been used by sellers to trade porn goods including photo books of underaged girls, Tokyo Shimbun reported, citing unnamed official involved in the probe.
