Moritomo Gakuen: Abe and Kagoike

moritomo gakuen: Kagoike repeated claims that he accepted an envelope containing 1 million in cash from Akie Abe on Sept. 5, 2015, when she was invited to deliver a speech at Moritomo's Tsukamoto Kindergarten, according to The Japan Times. Kagoike testified under oath, meaning any attempt to falsify his statements could bring perjury charges. In the nationally televised appearance, Yasunori Kagoike, head of Moritomo Gakuen, gave testimony in both chambers of the Diet to shed light on his alleged ties with Abe and his wife, Akie. Such a donation is not illegal, but it would link Abe to Kagoike, who critics describe as an advocate of ultra-nationalist views. According to a Yomiuri Shimbun survey last week, Abe's approval rate has plunged 10 points to 56 percent due apparently to growing misgivings about the scandal. That would be an unwelcome revelation for Abe, whose so-far invincible administration has taken a hit in the opinion polls. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
