Prominent entertainer Reika Miyazaki has been indicted on tax evasion charges while remaining at home. Miyazaki, a household name in Japanese showbiz, is facing allegations of significant financial irregularities. The authorities have yet to disclose the exact amount of the suspicious transactions. This incident comes amid increasing scrutiny of Japan's entertainment industry’s financial practices.

Tax evasion is generally seen as a serious crime in Japan, with several high-profile cases in recent years. Many in the nation deem tax payment as a social duty, and transgressions, especially from public figures, can elicit significant public backlash. The issue is further spotlighted as Miyazaki's case involves the entertainment industry, which has been a topic of discussion concerning its financial transparency issues.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU also treat tax evasion seriously, with high-profile cases involving celebrities generally garnering significant media coverage and public attention. However, there may be differences in prosecution and sentencing due to diverse tax law structures and practices.
