In previous trials, prosecutors have pointed out that the incident was caused by a loss of self-control due to the influence of alcohol. Although he has expressed remorse, he has asked his secretary to apologize for the comments he made about animal welfare, accusing him of not having done enough self-reflection.

Defendant Devi denied some of the charges, saying, ``I didn't throw the champagne glass,'' and said, ``I'm like a hot water boiler, so I have to be careful.''

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