自民じみん 萩生田はぎうだ氏しの当時とうじの秘書ひしょ「起訴きそ相当そうとう」 派閥はばつの政治せいじ資金しきん問題もんだいで

It has been revealed that by the 30th, the Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution decided that it is appropriate to indict the former secretary of Koichi Hagiuda, the former Policy Research Council Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party’s former Abe faction, who was criminally accused but not prosecuted over a political fundraising party.

It is believed to be the first time that a decision has been made deeming prosecution appropriate in a series of incidents, and the prosecutors will conduct a reinvestigation.

The former secretary of former LDP Policy Research Council Chairperson Hagiuda was accused by a university professor over the issue of the political fundraising party held by the former Abe faction, alleging that part of the income was not recorded in the income and expenditure report of the political organization represented by Mr. Hagiuda. Last year, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Offices Special Investigation Department decided not to prosecute.

A university professor who was dissatisfied with this disciplinary action filed a request for review with the Prosecutorial Review Commission this January, and it has been revealed that this month, the Tokyo No. 5 Prosecutorial Review Commission decided that indictment is appropriate regarding the secretary and notified the university professor.

In the resolution, the reason given was that it was a highly malicious, organized habitual crime that had been continuously carried out with the faction.

The secretary, fully aware of the illegality, did not consult with Representative Hagiuda and deliberately omitted the entry in accordance with instructions from the faction. The unreported amount is extremely high, at 22.9 million yen, and so on.

On top of that, it states, If cases like this are given a suspended prosecution, false statements will not disappear.

It appears to be the first time that a decision has been made deeming prosecution appropriate in a series of incidents.

The prosecution will reinvestigate the secretary and decide again whether to indict or not. Even if the prosecution decides not to indict after the reinvestigation, if the Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution again decides that an indictment should be made, the secretary will be forcibly indicted.
