    Export-control and measurement-falsification case

    Japanese authorities prosecuted former Mitutoyo executives and the company over illegal exports in violation of foreign-trade controls. The case involved software capable of falsifying measurement accuracy to avoid customs inspections. Authorities and subsequent reporting connected some exported coordinate-measuring equipment to a wider nuclear-proliferation network involving Libya, Iran, North Korea, and Scomi Precision Engineering in Malaysia.
