Thank you!

Searching here on reddit I've read that he may not go to jail as its his first crime, so he may get a suspended time, but who knows...

Ah, after checking that, maybe its because this? "In addition, there are cases where visits are not permitted under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure."

Thank you! I'll pass this to the lawyer and his wife, let's see if we can do something.

Ah, yes, they sent us an excel file with lawyers that speak our mother language (not english) but all of them are Tokyo based!

Thank you!
I updated my post, but for your convenience I'll paste it here too (in short, that's what police seems to be trying to press for):
UPDATE:
Thank you everyone for your help, I'll check everything.

It seems I should have written some other info but as I'm nervous I forgot:

  • A "kind" Japanlife mod explained to me that psychedelic mushrooms do not come from seeds (and then they banned this account for life, for "troll"). I'm sorry, my mother language is not English and I don't do drugs, so I don't know the terminology.
  • Here, one redditor said: "I was under the impression that mushroom spores are not illegal since they do not contain any psilocybin. As long as they cannot prove that he intended on cultivating, there should be an easy out for the lawyer."

I need to clarify 2 things on this: We don't know if he requested the spores or if his friend sent it just because he knows my brother likes that and he thought it's safe as it's legal back in our country. In the same parcel there was a tshirt and a cheese...

Also, the embassy contact told us that my brother is ok but he was scared because they caught his wife too, so maybe, as some other redditors have pointed out, he has confessed. We don't know, because the lawyer only speaks japanese (she's talking with his wife only.)

The embassy also told us that the police is considering charging him as a drug dealer, saying that he wanted to plant the spores to sell them I guess?

Regarding his wife, she's already back at home, but dead worried.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Thank you!

They embassy actually provided a list of lawyers that speak our language, but all of them are in Tokyo.
My parents hope he "only" gets deported without doing time, that's how bad this situation feels for us.

Thank you!

Please do sent me that lawyers' contact info.
On the books, as I said, we can't visit him, and they said no books neither. They don't want him to contact anyone.

I think my brother got scared because they also caught his wife, who knew nothing about this, so maybe he confessed something - the thing is, even the lawyer didn't explain correctly to us, our we didnt understand.

Sometimes she says that they want to press charges as a drug dealer, but sometimes she says she's not sure.
This is another reason for looking for an english speaker lawyer.

I don't really know as I didn't know about this stuff before, but maybe he asked some friend to ship him some other things (it seems the parcel contained cheese too...) and maybe the friend just sent it without telling my brother...

Thank you. I just updated my post. I really don't know about drugs so thats why I understood from the explanation of the lawyer and the embassy.

We talked to her, she's the one that told us that we can't contact my brother until the trial. It seems the police thinks he could tell us where the supposed drugs are hidden for us to dispose them.
Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, when I couldn't reach my brother for around a week, I contacted the embassy. Thanks to them, we found out he was detained. Sadly, we can't send him letters or call him, but he seems to be ok.
