How to say "frame-up" in Japanese

• フレームアップ
  nounThe direct equivalent for the sense of making an innocent person look guilty; a katakana borrowing of the English term. Less common, but found in news reports of suspects being framed.
• でっち上げでっちあげ
  nounA fabrication or made-up story, stressing that it is invented; it fits frame-up when false charges are concocted against someone, and more broadly it covers hoaxes and shams. It is likewise less common.
  彼かれの話はなしはでっち上あげだ。↗

  His story was made up.

Both are less common choices: 「フレームアップ」 is the direct equivalent for framing an innocent person, while 「でっち上げ」, a fabrication or made-up story, suits frame-ups built on invented charges.
