Prosecutors have questioned ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Kentaro Sonoura on a voluntary basis on suspicion of underreporting some 40 million yen in political funds, sources close to the matter said Tuesday.

Wasn't Ghosn arrested for the same thing? Why isn't Sonoura in handcuffs??

It was all handled by his staff, he doesn't know anything about it and even if he did he doesn't remember, so that makes it all okay.

Nothing to worry about here, just go about your day and keep telling yourself that the LDP really are the best people to govern Japan. Who knows, you might even start believing it.

Downvotes on these threads about LDP sleaze and incompetence always amuse me. The lack of comments is always an indication that LDP supporters can't refute the criticism.

In an autocratic society, just accept this happens and keep your mouth shut. It’s the system, just like Russia, China, Ukraine, Albania…etc. we are worker bees, they are queens.
