Election violation case Kawai Former Minister of Justice camp side Providing more than 20 million yen to the prefectural assembly or May 16 17:29

In the case of an election violation by a member of the LDP's House of Representatives, Kawari Kuriyuki, the husband and his former Minister of Justice, such as former Minister of Justice, have joined the camp since March last year, with a total of 20 million local prefectural legislators and supporters. Interviews with related parties revealed that there was a suspicion that he had handed over cash in excess of yen. The prosecutor's office is expected to further elucidate the facts and purpose of the cash offering.

Regarding the House of Councilors election in July last year, which was elected by Senri Kawai for the first time, it seems that the Hiroshima Prosecutor's Office and others were suspected that the funds of the camp were used for the acquisition, and multiple prefectural assembly members and city council were suspected of violating the Public Offices Election Law. We are proceeding with the investigation, such as searching for the members of the Diet.

The camp side, including former Minister of Justice Kawai Katsuyuki Kawai in this case, has exceeded 20 million yen in cash for dozens of local councilors and executives of the supporters group since March last year when Representative Satoshi announced that he was a candidate. I found out that I was suspected that I had been handed over to the person concerned.

The amount of money is estimated to be 100,000 to 100,000 yen per person.

It means that the camp side of Senator Satoshi has seized a list that seems to have described the distribution destination of cash.

The prosecutor's office is expected to expand the investigation system by sending the prosecutor of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office to Hiroshima to further clarify the facts and purpose of the cash offering.

Former Minister Kawai's office said on the 6th of last month, "We are currently investigating the parties concerned and will refrain from commenting at this time."
