Mrs. Devi sentenced to fine of 200,000 yen by Tokyo District Court for assaulting former employee

The Tokyo District Court handed down the verdict on the 6th for Devi Sukarno (86), also known as ``Mrs. Devi'', a celebrity accused of assaulting two women who were her manager and secretary. Judge Juichi Ishida said, ``This was a dangerous and violent crime,'' and sentenced him to a fine of 200,000 yen, as requested.

Judge Ishida pointed out, ``It is short-sighted that the reason for his anger stemmed from a difference of opinion over the use of dog meat.Even if he was emotionally unstable immediately after his dog's death, it cannot be justified.'' Defendant Devi's claims that he did not throw the champagne glass were dismissed as ``unreliable'' due to the circumstances at the scene.

In the trial so far, Devi denied some of the charges and said about himself, ``I'm like an instantaneous water heater, so I have to be careful.''

According to the ruling, Devi threw a glass and a towel at a female secretary at a restaurant in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward in February last year, and in October of the same year, he punched, kicked and assaulted a female manager at an animal hospital in the same ward.
