Following the arson attack, the city of Kyoto is requesting cooperation for stricter protocols in gasoline sales.
It’s been a week since the horrific arson attack on Kyoto Animation’s Fushimi Ward anime studio.
On July 25, though, the Kyoto municipal government sent a written request to gas station operators and trade organizations operating within the city asking them to do so.
Currently, gas stations are under no legal obligation to confirm the identity of customers buying gas to fill portable containers, nor to confirm their intended purpose.
