His car was ticketed and towed by the police, and to cover up the offense Akira Kuroiwa, then Public Relations Manager for the team, lied to the police that Kuroiwa operated the car and committed the parking violation that night. The cover-up was blown by a tabloid whose photojournalist recorded the whole incident.
Akira Kuroiwa's vehicle was stopped by the police, and to avoid trouble, he, as team PR manager, fabricated a story claiming he was driving the car and responsible for the parking infraction that evening. Unfortunately, this deception was soon exposed by a tabloid photographer who captured the whole incident.
