Hirofumi Shimomura, former chairman of the Political Affairs Research Committee, of the Abe faction, will give a statement at the House of Representatives Political Ethics Review Committee. The focus will be on what kind of explanation will be given regarding the executive meeting held the year before yesterday in which the handling of kickbacks was discussed.
The judging session will begin after 3:00 p.m., and we will keep you updated on the details. The contents of Mr. Shimmura's corrections are: Why did the kickback continue? Was there any awareness of the illegality? When did kickbacks start?
