Japan YouTuber arrested for making celebrity threats.
Japanese YouTuber and former MP, Yoshikazu Higashitani, known as GaaSyy, has been arrested by Tokyo police over threats he allegedly made to celebrities. He is accused of threatening to defame an actor, an entrepreneur, and a designer between February and August last year. Higashitani repeatedly ignored requests to return to Japan and voluntarily submit himself to police questioning. He was one of two members elected from the Seijika-joshi-48 party, but refused to attend a single legislative session and was expelled from the Senate.
