Tarcento, September 25th 2018

To:
Niigata Prefectural Police Headquarters
4-1, Shinko-cho, Chuo-ku
Niigata-shi, Niigata-ken
950-8553 Japan


To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter because I need some information and confirmation about a bad situation happened to me in MinamiUonuma-shi in February 2018 with the local Police Department.

In order to give reference points on what happened, I attach at this letter the following documents:
- A Memory in Japanese written for the Family Court of Nagaoka where you can deduce the facts happened at the Police Department of Minamiuonuma.
- A copy of the business cards of the policemen and the person in charge who detained me without any justification.

The Italian Embassy has made formal requests to the Police Department of Minamiuonuma in order to obtain a report on what happened, but no answer arrived.
The Family Court has established a new hearing so I need the following confirmations: 1- The Niigata Prefectural Police Headquarter hasn’t coordinated and shared the actions of the Police Department of Minamiuonuma in those days; 2- The Police Department of Minamiuonuma has the right to avoid to answer to the request of a report on what happened.

Since I want to present some evidence at the Family Court of Nagaoka, I want to ask if you may produce a report about what happened at the Police Department of Minamiuonuma in order to justify what I have declared.

But really more important is the fact that I have asked to see my daughter for the next time I will be in Japan. In fact the Police Department of Minamiuonuma has threatened some prescription and limits to my freedom to move in Japan. So I need that the Court know what are these menaces, also to let each other know what is allowed and what isn’t. The chief of the Department hasn’t the gut to write the prescriptions on a documents, even though I have requested it. I suspect that this derives also from the fact he may have done some error in managing the situation. It might be also something done and said that is beyond their powers and legal limits. In other words they may have taken some unilateral decisions that became an abuse.

So the information I need is the name of a person in charge in your Headquarter to solve this issue and to receive all the documents I need.

In fact, I am preparing other legal actions, and I need a documentary base on which start.

The Act No. 136 of July 1948 (昭和二十三年七月十二日法律第百三十六号) speaks clearly: the policemen couldn’t force me to follow them. Without mention about the physical restriction and the impossibility to decide to go back, at least at the hotel.

I will await for your prompt reply.

Yours Sincerely.

Andrea Meneghetti

Tarcento, December 14th 2018


To whom it may concern,

First of all I want to thank you for your letter of 5th of December, even though it is quite delayed. In fact this letter helps me to show and confirm the serious shortcomings in the Japanese legal system and for what concern our correspondence, the deficiency in Japanese police system.

The fact you confirmed that your Prefectural Headquarters hasn’t coordinated the actions of the Police Department of Minamiuonuma, underlined once again as there has been heavy abuse against a foreigner citizen along with the declaration of the false many time. And in your system there isn’t any legal or juridical element to keep back these abuses and violence and to permit some kind of control on the operate of these police officers.
The point 2 in your letter said that many severe things may happen and everybody may declare what one’s want without any confirmation or reference elements.

Instead thanks to my perseverance, we clearly know who were the persons who were in the room, translator included. But the fact that there was the translator, involve your headquarter directly, since she doesn’t belong to the Department of Minamiuonuma. It would be interesting to know who sent her in Muikamachi.

I thank you as well for your letter since I have now in my hands a document that reveals in its all severity, the fact that in Japan there isn’t the rule of law. And so I can insist with the Court that the trial has to be held in Italy as Japanese law declares. Because it is important to remember, especially to you, that technically and practically, the trial hasn’t started yet!
In this perspective your sentence “In regard to your concern about your seeing your daughter, we are not in a position to work out that matter. Your would be well advised to consult a legal professional.” is completely not in phase and completely not in line with what I have written and required in my letter. And this sentence can be defined as intrusive and not required.
In deed: 1- I haven’t asked you anything related to my right to see my daughter; 2- Recalling the need of an lawyer is absolutely amiss since it is widely recognized that there isn’t any lawyer in Japan who can fulfill that request. Also because there isn’t the enforcement of the police in the case that the Court decides it (another lack in Japanese system). This situation is declared by the UN organization and not by me; 3- I have already looked for a lawyer, I have already paid it and I have only discovered the unwillingness of Japanese lawyers in defending and listening the requests of the foreigners costumers; 4- If you know that I have been “well advised” about to consult a legal professional, how is it possible that you haven’t discovered yet that I have undergone abuses by your colleagues? How is it possible that you haven’t discovered the severe mental illness of my wife? How is it possible that you haven’t taken any actions to resolve the issue?

In this contest I require the name of the person in charge in your headquarters for all the procedure, as I have already asked!
I require the name of the person who declares himself or herself “Director” at the bottom of your letter: How is it possible that nobody has the gut to put a sign or a name at the end of a so important document? And if I have to communicate again, to whom I have to send the letter and to whom I have to ask if I will be at your headquarter?

But at the same time I want to know the name because here are rising very important responsibilities, and I want the traces of the people who takes decisions. Because decisions implies consequences. And if something will happen to my daughter someone has to pay for it.

Another very important point that your headquarter cannot avoid to consider is the risk of my physical safety. The day I have been detained for 4 hours from your colleagues, it lacked just that I undergone physical violence, all the other form of violence had already been put in place. I don’t know if Murayama Naoki follows orders of someone else, or he tries to gratify someone, or he has some relationship with my wife’s family, or he just act following his instinct. But I think that in normal situations a policeman has to show an identification card, explain because someone is detained, give something to drink and eat after hour and hours of restrain. I think that it is normal if a policeman makes heavy restrictions on free of movement in an area, that he releases a document where it is written the prescription. Especially if he decides that a father cannot see freely his daughter.
So I cannot know to what requests Murayama Naoki  has to answer, and I cannot know if he is following all the rules. Can you guarantee for your colleague? Do I have from you the complete guarantee that nobody will harass me again? Do I have the complete guarantee from you that I can require my rights in serenity? Do I have the complete guarantee from you that I will not undergone some retaliation when in Japan? Do I have the complete guarantee from you that I will not undergone some premeditation and crime against my person? Do I have the complete guarantee from you that if I have some problem with the family of my wife, the police of Minamiuonuma will defend me as well? Or do I have to wait other abuses?

With the answer to my first letter you confirmed that you are aware I have undergone this kind of abuse and if something will happen to me you will be responsible as well. Now you cannot avoid to consider it. So I need the name of the person in charge and the name of the person who has written the letter I received.
It is clear that all these correspondence will be passed to the Italian Embassy as well, that is well informed about the situation.

For the moment I am not in hurry, but I remember that in the moment something happen to my daughter, but also to my wife till we will be still married, it will become a pique of honour going backwards and find out all those haven’t done their duty and ask for the damages. And since my wife has this severe mental illness it is really likely that my daughter will have some damage in the future, and so I will ask the compensation also for that, but not now, in 5, 10, 15 years. I have said, I am not in hurry.
And I will have a special pleasure if will be my daughter herself, Japanese citizen, that will promote the request of damages, with the money I am putting apart for her (instead of squander money with lawyers that are not willing in doing their job).

If I will not receive shortly the names required, I will be to your headquarter and I will discover directly who hasn’t the gut to sign the letter. Moreover, in my opinion, a letter without name and sign doesn’t honour the Japanese institutions.

Your Sincerely.

For our Anniversary....

Dear Mutsumi,

I remember that when we married one "bomboniera" was ruined after the long travel from Italy to Japan... you decided to retain it for you... I felt ashamed and I have taken it as a bad omen, like if our love was broken...

I always wanted buy a special, new crystal "bomboniera" only for you...
I have found one beautiful...
I will try to give it to you the day of our 5th anniversary (after the trial for our divorce)...
Who knows if you may accept it... I really hope!

Silent tears...

This morning, before to get up, I am in the bed, thinking of you... tears start to well in my eyes. I am not really crying, I am suffering, silently. Alone. I really miss you. And my love is not considered. Sobbing I know that this is my destiny. It is time to start the day. Another day where I have to hide my feelings because for me it isn't allowed having loved someone. And this will last for the remaining days of my life. But I am proud of my pure love for you that I will never regret or renegade!

New advice... + Haruka's present

Dear Mutsumi,
How are you and Haruka doing?
I am at another turning point of my life.
The 19th of November I will finish the Master on Eating Disorders. In order to finish it I had to give up some counseling job so I have to find new opportunities.
In January hopefully the divorce situation will be defined, so it will be the chance to plan the future.

So now I have to decide where to address my life. After your advice to return on Food Technologies, things are gone better. Hard period and not easy to set, but quite better. I really thank you! I have found the happiness in a job even though I always have my periods of fatigue and stress where I get lost. But I have learnt to stay calm and believe that sooner or later it will come again the will to go ahead.

Now I have to invest some more money and time, in order to improve my skills and be a better professional in my field, in order to try to earn more money for a better economical situation, and have more chances of work.

I don't know where to direct myself since every choice is expensive and not so sure.

In this moment, I really would like to have one of your advice... I would like to speak with you about this topic because I know that you may give me a good and wise perspective about the issue, evaluating the different choices (helping me to avoid having too much dreaming). 

Since this email address is set only for sending photos of Haruka and discuss about her needs, I take the chance to send to you the link of a possible Christmas present for her.
If I have understood well, this toy works in Japanese and English. If you reckon that this can be a right present for her, just let me know. If you prefer something different, more suitable or a different thing, just let me know.
If I will not hear anything from you, I will probably buy this.

Bye!

Andrea

By the way...

October, 29th 2018


Hi Mutsumi,

I’ve casually seen that Princess Ayako getting married... she has a sincere face...
So I’ve thought about our marriage and I can confirm that in that day you were the most beautiful woman on the face of Earth: incredibly beautiful!

By the way, since we are divorcing, before it, I have taken the chance to dedicate my thesis to you. This is the inscription:

To my Wife Mutsumi,
because
She has been the most beautiful part of my life,
She has taught me so many things,
and She put the basis for a feasible future!


I was thinking about the Christmas present for Haruka.... I know that it is early but I don’t have anything else to do in life. In order to avoid to bother you too much, I ask you now if you have some idea or suggestion.
If I will not hear from you, I have found something that it might be interesting... However I’ll submit the idea to you before buy it.

Ok, time to go!

Take care!

Bye.

Pickle

October, 13th 2018

Dear Mutsumi,

How are you doing?

Today we had the last day of grape harvesting...
We had a little party at lunch, we were speaking about life and future things to do...

They asked me about if this year I would have gone to Canada or abroad, since for many years I always took a journey after the harvesting. I answered “No, because I have to go to Japan in January for the problem of divorce, I don’t have so much money”. So I friend of mine said to me: “it was better if you never would have gone in Canada, you have had only problems” (At fist glance I was a little astonished but I know that he was trying to be kind because he really thinks that for me it is a burden the situation I am in and he would like to see me serene).

I replied “No, for me it has been the best thing happened to me. Being in Canada, meeting my future wife, discovering new things and tasting what it means love... without all the experiences I had, also the hardest, I couldn’t be the person I am now... And I am happy to be a better person”.

I know that they don’t understand me... They cannot understand what means really the word LOVE... And they cannot understand the big love I have felt for you... and do you? They don’t know all the efforts you made to accept me... I can only try to image, but not fully understand!

In the afternoon the old father of the winery asked me some help to do a typical local food (I am like a part of the family even though I haven’t married their daughter). The sons were too busy to help him and he is starting to be tired, so he asked me and I helped... I had never done it before even though, I knew more or less the process.

After a while, I realized that we were doing a product really similar to daikon pickles. I made the pickles with your father and your mother one time when I was there in Shiozawa. Instead of the remaining of rice production, we used the remaining of grape berries... And the tuber here is usually eaten cooked and not fresh... Clearly, I couldn’t avoid to think about you. All afternoon long...

However I was thinking that sometimes also love should be pickled... Someone can find and have the good ingredients, but it needs to put them in the right sequence, and gives time that it matures... I think that we had the right ingredients but we have done errors in put them together and we couldn’t wait too many times the other.

Take care!

Andrea

last night dreams...

October, 3rd 2018

Last night I have dreamed you... it was a pleasant dream...
In my dream we reconciled... and we at least remained friends.
I know, it is only a dream...
P.S. in these days is in Italy a representative of the association of the Italian Left Behind Parents of Japan and he contacted me because now they are on the TV to explain the issue and yesterday they were at the Ministry of Family... It might be that it is the reason I have dreamed you. This representative hates his (future) ex-wife. I don't!

Sincerity of my love + new letter to the Court

September 21st 2018

Dear Mutsumi,

yesterday I have sent another letter to the Court.... I inform you in advance because I know that it may be hard for you... so you may be prepared when you receive it.

How are you doing?

As usual September for me is a beautiful moment... grape harvesting gives me the chance to be in the fields and stay well... more, without me things for the winery may be worst, they rely on me, it is beautiful...

So I realize how important you have been for me... I restarted to love life only after the reconnection with you. I am sorry that I have disappointed you, but a donkey cannot be a horse. And you couldn’t wait for my recovery. Also because my best doesn’t overlap with your dreams.

My love for you was sincere, though! And thank you for having believed in me...

I am monogamous. And in the moment I have decide to have a family with you it implied I cannot forget you. I am still thinking about my father (died 16 years ago) and about my mother. You can understand that I cannot forget you, my wife and mother of Haruka.

Ok, I only know that I have to keep working!

Bye

Andrea


平成29年(家ホ)第11号 離婚等請求事件
原  告 川   内   睦   美
被  告 メネゲッティ、 アンドレア

平成30年9月20日
新潟家庭裁判所長岡支部 御中
被告 メネゲッティ、アンドレア 
 
 被告は、裁判所からの平成30年8月10日付事務連絡に対し、異議を申し立てます。この事務連絡の中では、被告が国際裁判管轄の件にこだわっているかのように言及されています。しかし、かなり独特な進め方を選択し、未だ判断を下していないのは裁判所です。
 実際、渉外離婚訴訟について「被告住所地を原則」としている日本の法は明確です。例外的に日本の裁判所の管轄権が認められる場合には、その理由となる事実が証明されなければなりません。
 原告の訴訟代理人弁護士の助言によるものかもしれませんが、原告は被告が行方不明であったとの主張に固執していました。被告が行方不明ということが真実ではないことは、幾度も証明されています。なお、原告があらゆる方法で夫との接触を避けていた期間中、連絡を取るために家族の知人が仲立てしてくれたという事実から、被告が行方不明ではなかったことは原告の弁護士も知っています。
 したがって、これは虚偽を主張するという原告の重大な欺瞞行為ともなります。この欺瞞行為は原告の各準備書面と被告の答弁書を比較しても十分推論できます。
 しかし、裁判官は書類の検証を先延ばしにしたばかりか、性急に離婚しないという被告の意思を脱線させようとまでしました。被告の目的は、娘の生活の保護という観点から妻の精神的疾患の件を掘り下げて見極めることです。前回期日では、裁判官が追究し、被告を尋問すればするほど原告の主張の一貫性のなさが明らかになっていきました。
 また、裁判所の公式文書に「被告が行方不明であった」及び「原告は被告に遺棄された」との記載があることは被告にとって許容できることではありません。実際、万一、将来何者かがイタリアの裁判所にこれらの文書に異議申し立てをした場合、賠償問題につながったり場合によっては刑法上の痕跡を残したりする可能性があるだけでなく、罪に対し職権で起訴される可能性もあります。
 この状況で、結論に至る要素が全て揃っていたにも関わらず、裁判官は新たな準備書面の提出を要求しました。(第二回口頭弁論期日はほぼ一年先であるにも関わらず)準備書面の提出期間としてなぜ1ヶ月しか与えられなかったのか、という疑問は残りますが、それはともかく、結論の根拠とすべきものは、平成30年3月5日第一回口頭弁論期日に、原告の訴訟代理人弁護士から何も提出されなかったという事実です。
 したがって、被告が行方不明であったということを、事実でもって、また有効期間内に、原告が証明できなかったという平成30年3月5日第一回口頭弁論期日の事実に基づき、判断が下されるべきでした。上記の理由により裁判管轄は日本には認められません。裁判官が交代したとしても、下されるべき判断です(裁判官交代は裁判所内の事情ですので、被告にも原告にも関係なく、また裁判の進行に影響を及ぼすものではないはずです)。
 ところが、裁判官が交代し、被告の新たな出頭が求められるという連絡通知が新潟家庭裁判所長岡支部よりありました。しかも、次回期日は裁判官3名の合議体による審理とのこと(何れにせよ次回期日に複数の裁判官が出席することは被告にとって好ましいことではあります)。
 しかしながら、この進め方はかなり独特で、問題を解決に導くためというより、裁判の進め方の誤りや大きな欠陥をカバーするために本来の正常な審理終了を引き延ばす機能しか持たないように見えます。
 現実に、残されている追究すべき事実は以下の点です。
1.なぜ、裁判所書記官から送られてくるはずの答弁書書式と答弁書記載例が、原告の訴訟代理人弁護士から送られてきたのか。
2.なぜ、原告の第2準備書面提出に4ヶ月近くも待たされなくてはならなかったのか。そして、なぜ、裁判所は、この原告の第2準備書面が提出されてから、8月になって新たな裁判期日の判断を下したのか。裁判所はどのようにして、この準備書面がいずれ提出されると知り得たのでしょうか。また、もし、この準備書面が1年後に提出されていたとしたら、その間ずっと待たされることになっていたのでしょうか。
 つまりは、実際には存在しない被告のこだわりを訴え、新たな裁判期日の決定がなされています。しかし、本当は、整然とした審理過程を行う必要と、被告が家族を遺棄していないことを証明する必要があるだけです。そして、逆に、現地の警察の力を借りてまで偽りを証明しようと試みたのは原告です。さらには、原告が軽率な態度を取り続けていた(精神的疾患の症状か?)ことも明らかと言えます。
 同時に、裁判所は、裁判官の交代があったとはいえ、前回の裁判官が取った措置の結果と責任の回避はできません。なぜなら、前回の裁判官は法の許す範囲内で行動したに違いないからです。万一、そうでないとすれば、再び権力の乱用が行われ、司法機関の一つが欺瞞と虚偽の行為を支持していることになります。
 しかし、万一、裁判所が、原告の精神状態を考慮の上で原告を保護することを目的として、日本の裁判所に管轄権が認められたほうが良いと判断した場合に限り、被告はその判断に反対するつもりはありません。ただし、その際、日本の司法制度により上記の事柄が規定されており、且つ裁判所が、摂食障害に関し被告と同等の適格性を有することを証明することが必須条件となります。そして、この選択は公式文書に記載されなくてはなりません。
 最後に、被告は、被告本人が第二回口頭弁論期日に出頭するために日本に滞在する間(平成31年1月10日から17日までの予定)の娘川内悠加との面会を正式に且つ事前に要請します。
 面会時間は、合計で最低24時間求めます。その際、総時間の複数日への分割は裁判所の判断で行ってください。子が子本人の普段の生活環境からあまり離れる必要がないように考慮し(長岡市、あるいは母親と共に来るのであれば東京も検討可能)、面会方法については裁判所が決定することができるものとします。この件に関し、被告としては、家族(祖父母、親戚など)及び各機関関係者(社会福祉士や警察関係者−こうすれば今回は前回のように精神的暴力を与える必要も、全くもって無駄であり権力乱用と言える肉体的侮辱を与える必要もありません)等、本件に関わる全ての人に介入してもらって構いません。
 この方法で行うことにより、被告に対して今日まで許されなかった、民法上、及び家庭面・社会面における最低限の権利を被告に対し保証する力を裁判所が有することになり、裁判所は本事項及び本件に対する権威を表すことが可能となります。
以上

SEASIDE

September, 9th 2018

Yesterday I went to the sea side. I was with you and Haruka, in my mind...










date of the trial...

August 29th 2018

Mutsumi AMORE MIO,
perché mi hai abbandonato, perchè?

Dear Mutsumi,

I will not translate what I have written in Italian because it is quite embarrassing, especially if you are in a relationship with another man at the moment.
However I always think of you and Haruka and I tell to everybody how important you have been for me, in my life. And so, especially before to go to sleep, I say out loud those things I have written above...

I want to communicate to you that I have chosen the date for the trial, it is January 11th 2019 at 13:30 in Nagaoka Court.
I have chosen it because it falls in the same days we had our marriage 5 years ogo. So we will finish our relationship in a coherent way. I think that for sure you will receive a direct communication from the Court.

Our Marriage: my dream of life realized! And it is going to finish...
Anyway, I don't have enough words to apologize. "Two hearts and a hut" I said on the coach toward Pisa in the vacation you and your parents had in Italy, 4 years ago. How silly I was... And you strongly tried to explain to me that for a family a hut isn't enough, that I had to put strength and get busy in order to maintain a family and not only dreaming. I couldn't understand back then. Now I know how right you were. However be sure that I have always listened you! And in some way I tried to cope and change myself, for the possible...

Ok, time to go! Take care!

Andrea

Saturday, August 25, 2018

Summons and thank you...

Dear Mutsumi,

I just received the summons of the Court for January. As soon as I can I will choose the date and I will answer.

I am surprised! Three judges this time and they haven't decided yet if the trial has to be held in Japan or in Italy!

So I thank you for having accepted the presents of Haruka: I thought that everything was already done about the decision of the Court.
And I thank you for having sent me the photos. (I know that this is just your kindness!)
Last night I haven't slept well because I keep dreaming Haruka. However it has been a great joy receive the photos so I can see her growing.

At the same time I don't understand where we are going: spending all this money for nothing.... Money really important for Haruka's life. And time... And nerves...
I really don't care win something at the trial because if you don't want me, my life is meaningless and the trial doesn't change anything. Everything is already ruined and I will never recover these 3 years and the relationship with Haruka is lost forever.

At the same time I cannot give up for many reasons. But I am quite tired.

If you have any suggestion to overcome this situation, I am always ready to listen.

In the next months I will ask to see Haruka in January when I will come.

Bye for now and thank you again!!!!

Andrea

Haruka's Birthday, the most important day of the year!

August, 16th 2018


Dear Mutsumi,
please give to Haruka my Happy Birthday wishes and give her a kiss for me.
Today is the most important day of the year for me. And it will be always a day of sufferance.
My dream is that one day I will have the chance to show to Haruka the places where I live and go at least once at the seaside, taking an holiday on this day. And feeling the same emotions I had when I was child and in summer period we used to go at the seaside, feeling the smell of salted water and waiting for sunset.
If there will be a day like that, I will be happy and hopefully my sufferance will cease.
Thank you again for the photos of yesterday. I was really really surprised, I really didn’t expect it. I have cried, in a mix of joy and despair. In my loneliness.
Bye.
Andrea
P.S. When I was a young child I used to suffer a little bit of asthma. The doctor suggested to stay at the seaside as form of help (that works for everybody, not only if there is a health condition). So if also Haruka needs this remedy, don’t hesitate to come here along her, I will pay as much as I can, hopefully everything (flights, staying, food, amusement parks etc.). Here there is a zoo at the city near the seaside. However the better periods for a child are June and September. In July and August is quite hot with the chance to go out only in the morning and in the late afternoon.

(Unexpected 3 photos)

August, 15th 2018


Dear Mutsumi,

with an undefinable emotion in my heart I receive these photos...

It means a lot for me!

Thank you!
You made my day....

Haruka's Presents

August, 7th 2018

In some way, with a lot of challenges, I succeeded in doing an account on Amazon -Japan.
And with other difficult actions I've sent some present to Haruka.

I have done only the minimun since I didn't know if she would receive them and if Mutsumi would have threw them away...

However I was happy and I have tried!!!!!!!

On life and on Haruka's birthday


Dear Mutsumi,

yesterday was another beautiful day in this empty life....

After 3 years following the separation from you, after having lost the relationship with a daughter, after the death of my mother, now there are more beautiful days than bad days.

Yesterday I was thinking of you and Haruka, deeply but with serenity.

Without you and Haruka my life is empty but it can be still a life. Even though you have another life, I can think of you as a precious experience that I will keep inside me, forever, without the need to justify it, without feeling shame if you have other relationships...

Do you know anything about the divorce? The time is passing and I need to plan my future.

And now the most important thing: Haruka’s Birthday!

I have already asked you if I could send money or a present to her. For me it is important.
I really cannot understand why in Japan you have this type of philosophy that it needs to cut the relationships among relatives. And cheating in order to demonstrate that the father abandoned a child, even though it isn’t true.

Since I haven’t received any answer from you, I will act as I reckon the best.

Bye.

Andrea


P.S. And when the Piano was playing, when my friend was making the video, I was thinking about Haruka and Mutsumi...
The hat was a present of Otosan and the jacket was a present of Mutsumi...
