In a large-scale takeover case involving the election of the House of Representatives three years before the sentence of former Minister of Justice Katsuyuki Kawai was finalized, the prosecutor's office in Tokyo was found to have received cash in a trial, but was not charged. It has been announced that 35 out of 100 local councilors in Hiroshima have voted "equivalent to prosecution" and 46 have voted "unjustified".
