They're all at it.

All these similar scandals that've been reported over the years, and they still do it.

Vote the lot of them out and start again - starting with the charlatan right at the top, who leads by example when it comes to things like this.

"It may have been sudden but it’s hardly now. Katsuyuki Kawai was the Minister of Justice from September 11, 2019 to October 31, 2019."

thanks 4 the heads up...

I also wondered why high profile or sensitive news was reported month's or years later, as to allow the the stench to evaporate.

If you’re talking about Kawai stepping down in Oct last year, it was all over the news at the time. And as new developments happened in the case they have been reported."

Yeah , here on the east coast we dont get a lot of translated Japanese news, but lately we have been getting a hell of a lot about the corona virus problem, in Japan. Many people are saying Japan is very dangerous now and some US airlines wont fly there. I even heard of a travel ban.

Thanks for the insight :)
