Japan: Abe ‘lied’ about bungs to fascist school, says head

JAPAN’S militarist Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lied about cash bungs to a fascist school chain, its head told parliament yesterday.

In a sworn testimony yesterday, group principal Yasunori Kagoike told MPs that the PM had donated 1 million yen (£7,200) to the firm in an envelope delivered by his wife.

He said Akie Abe handed him the cash during a September 2015 visit to the nursery he ran in Osaka.
