Liberal Democratic Party interviews pro-Abe members about political funding issue, confirms amount and how it will be used. The hearing will be held for four days and will involve more than 80 people, including members of the Abe and Nikai factions, as well as executives from the Kishida faction.

It is not clear how the money was flowing, although it is said that there was some sort of poaching or kickbacks. An incomplete and sloppy investigation is absolutely unacceptable. I hope that a meaningful investigation will be conducted.
