Shinji Kosaka, Mayor of Akiota-cho, told NHK, "I received an envelope from my husband, Mr. Katsuyuki Kawai, who visited my home last April and refused to receive it, but I could not refuse it. I checked and found that there was 200,000 yen in cash. "
He recognized that it was a donation associated with political activities, and on the 30th of last month, he described it in the income and expenditure report of his own political organization and submitted it to the Prefectural Election Commission.
