In addition, regarding when and under whose instructions the Abe faction's kickbacks and omissions from income and expenditure reports began, the spokesperson said, ``During the party's interviews, we repeatedly asked the parties involved, but unfortunately, there was no clear explanation. We have not been able to confirm the date and time."
Four people will attend the review committee on the 1st: former Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Nishimura, who served as the secretary general of the Abe faction, Matsuno, former Chief Cabinet Secretary, Shioya, former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and Takagi, former head of the National Diet Committee. .

The company plans to investigate the circumstances surrounding the kickbacks, assuming that no progress has been made.
