Abe's office may have illegally spent millions of yen on parties

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) is pictured after attending a House of Representatives plenary session in Tokyo on Nov. 24, 2020. His office is suspected of covering a shortfall of millions of yen spent on annual parties held between 2013 and 2019 at a Tokyo hotel for supporters during his time as leader, prompting prosecutors to question one of his secretaries over a possible violation of the political funds control law, sources with knowledge of the situation said the same day.
