Chef Fined in Firearms Case
Kimihoko Saito, 39, a Granada Hills sushi chef, was placed on five years’ probation and fined $1,500 Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Ferdinand Fernandez on three counts of illegally receiving and possessing firearms.
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service also has placed a hold on Saito, an acquaintance of Japanese importer Kazuyoshi Miura, currently on trial in Tokyo on charges of allegedly attempting to murder his wife in Los Angeles in 1981. Mrs. Miura was fatally wounded three months later on a downtown street.
