Shizuoka Prefectural Police have discovered digital data of a forged university diploma on a personal computer belonging to Maki Takubo
SHIZUOKA (TR) – Shizuoka Prefectural Police have discovered digital data of a forged university diploma on a personal computer belonging to Maki Takubo, the former mayor of Ito City who is currently facing trial for falsifying her academic credentials, investigative sources revealed on Tuesday, reports the Yomiuri Shimbun ().
Takubo, 56, was indicted without arrest on charges of forging and using a private document with a seal. According to the indictment, between late May and early June of last year, she orchestrated the creation of a fake Toyo University diploma to deceive the public about her educational background.
Prosecutors allege she used the internet to hire a vendor to create counterfeit name seals belonging to the university president and the dean of the law faculty, which were then stamped onto a document bearing her name.
Despite the discovery of the forged data on her PC — which was seized by Shizuoka police in February — Takubo is vehemently denying the allegations.
On Tuesday, her defense team submitted a document to the Shizuoka District Court pleading not guilty. The former mayor claims she never ordered the counterfeit seals herself, arguing instead that the forged diploma “may have been created by a third party.”

静冈（TR）——据《读卖新闻》周二报道，调查人员透露，静冈县警方在伊东市前市长多久保真希的个人电脑中发现了伪造大学文凭的电子数据。多久保真希目前正因伪造学历证书而面临审判。
现年56岁的田久保因伪造和使用带有印章的私人文件而被起诉，但未被逮捕。起诉书称，去年5月下旬至6月初期间，她精心策划伪造了一份东洋大学的毕业证书，以欺骗公众对其学历的认知。
检方指控她利用互联网雇佣供应商伪造大学校长和法学院院长的姓名印章，然后将这些印章盖在一份署有她名字的文件上。
尽管静冈警方在 2 月份查获了 Takubo 的电脑，并发现了伪造的数据，但 Takubo 仍然强烈否认这些指控。
周二，她的辩护团队向静冈地方法院提交了一份无罪辩护文件。这位前市长声称，她从未亲自下令伪造印章，而是辩称伪造的毕业证书“可能是第三方制作的”。
