Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka has been sentenced to prison for insider trading.
Naka pleaded guilty in March and has now been sentenced to serve two and a half years in jail. In addition, Naka has been fined twice for ¥2.5m and ¥170m (just under £1m total).
However, his defence is seeking a suspended sentence and to lower the fines, claiming Naka "accidentally saw information that was extremely unrelated to [his] work".
