In the case of a violation of the election by the House of Representatives of the LDP's House of Representatives Satoshi Kawai, the Hiroshima District Public Prosecutor's Office newly searched for a waiting room of multiple parliamentary groups of the LDP of the Hiroshima Prefectural Assembly on suspicion of violating the Public Offices Election Law. I understand. It seems that the facts about the flow of funds of the camp will be further clarified.

It was in the waiting room of several parliamentary groups of the LDP of the Hiroshima Prefectural Assembly that were searched.

The Hiroshima District Public Prosecutor's Office is conducting an investigation on the suspicion that the funds of the camp have been used for the acquisition over the House of Councilors election in July of last year when Senator Kawai was elected for the first time. Former Hiroshima Prefectural Assembly Chairman Toshihiro Hiyama belongs to the “Legendary Association”, to which Noriko Watanabe belongs to “Koshishikai”, and to Tatsukawa Tatsuhiro to belong to the “Liberal Democratic Society” prefectural assembly I searched in doubt.

Representative Hiyama and Representative Watanabe were being searched by the prosecution on their homes and offices on April 9, and at that time, Representative Hiyama said, "There is a discrepancy between the investigative authorities regarding the transfer of money." Speaking on the 28th, Rep. Watanabe said, "There is no illegal receipt of money."

In addition, Representative Tsubokawa denies receiving money from the camp of Representative Kawai for his coverage up to now.

In this case, at least more than 10 prefectural and city council members admitted that they received cash from their husband, former Minister of Justice Katsuyuki Kawai, for the arbitrary investigation of the prosecution. It is expected that the actual situation will be further clarified regarding the presence or absence and the purpose.
