    **第一項**  検察官は、訴因変更等請求書面に記載された第二百七十一条の二第一項第一号又は第二号に掲げる者の個人特定事項について、必要と認めるときは、裁判所に対し、前条第五項の規定による訴因変更等請求書面の謄本の送達により当該個人特定事項が被告人に知られないようにするための措置をとることを求めることができる。
    <sup>art-312-2/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-312-2/par-1</sup>
    When a public prosecutor deems it necessary with regard to the particulars identifying an individual of a person listed in Article 271-2, paragraph (1), item (i) or (ii) that are stated in the written request for alteration of counts, etc., the public prosecutor may request the court to take measures to prevent those particulars identifying an individual from becoming known to the defendant through the service of the transcript of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (5) of the preceding Article.
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第二項**  前項の規定による求めは、裁判所に対し、訴因変更等請求書面とともに、被告人に送達するものとして、当該求めに係る個人特定事項の記載がない訴因変更等請求書面の抄本その他の訴因変更等請求書面の謄本に代わるもの（以下この条において「訴因変更等請求書面抄本等」という。）を提出して行わなければならない。
    <sup>art-312-2/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-312-2/par-2</sup>
    A request under the preceding paragraph must be made by submitting to the court, together with the written request for alteration of counts, etc., as one to be served on the defendant, an extract of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. in which the particulars identifying an individual pertaining to the request are not stated, or other document that substitutes for a transcript of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the "extract of the written request for alteration of counts, etc." in this Article).
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第三項**  裁判所は、前項の規定による訴因変更等請求書面抄本等の提出があつたときは、前条第五項の規定にかかわらず、遅滞なく訴因変更等請求書面抄本等を被告人に送達しなければならない。
    <sup>art-312-2/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-312-2/par-3</sup>
    When the extract of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. has been submitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the court must, notwithstanding paragraph (5) of the preceding Article, serve the extract of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. on the defendant without delay.

    **第四項**  第二百七十一条の三から第二百七十一条の八までの規定は、第二項の規定による訴因変更等請求書面抄本等の提出がある場合について準用する。この場合において、第二百七十一条の三第三項中「前条第一項第一号ハ（１）」とあるのは「第二百七十一条の二第一項第一号ハ（１）」と、第二百七十一条の五第一項中「第二百七十一条の二第四項」とあるのは「第三百十二条の二第三項」と、第二百七十一条の六第五項及び第二百七十一条の八第一項中「同条第一項第一号」とあるのは「第二百七十一条の二第一項第一号」と読み替えるものとする。

    The provisions of Articles 271-3 through 271-8 apply mutatis mutandis where the extract of the written request for alteration of counts, etc. is submitted pursuant to paragraph (2). In this case, the phrase "paragraph (1), item (i), (c), (1) or item (ii), (a) of the preceding Article" in Article 271-3, paragraph (3) is deemed to be replaced with "Article 271-2, paragraph (1), item (i), (c), (1) or item (ii), (a)", the phrase "Article 271-2, paragraph (4)" in Article 271-5, paragraph (1) with "Article 312-2, paragraph (3)", and the phrase "paragraph (1), item (i) or item (ii) of that Article" in Article 271-6, paragraph (5) and Article 271-8, paragraph (1) with "Article 271-2, paragraph (1), item (i) or item (ii)".
