A Japanese court found a navy officer guilty of leaking classified data about a high-tech radar system used by U.S. and Japanese warships, domestic news media reported Tuesday.
The 35-year-old lieutenant commander was given a 2 1/2 -year suspended sentence for passing on classified information about the Aegis radar system to an unauthorized colleague, Kyodo News Agency said.
The conviction is the first under a 1954 law governing leakage of highly confidential information about weapons and ships given to Japan by the United States, Kyodo said.
