Fund scandal hits Abe's Cabinet, farm minister denies allegation

CHIKUSEI, Japan - Photo taken July 7, 2007, shows the house where the parents of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Norihiko Akagi live in Chikusei, Ibaraki Prefecture. A political organization supporting him registered the home as its office and booked some 123 million yen in rent, utilities and other costs from 1990 to 2005 despite the fact the house is not actually used in that way, sources familiar with the issue told Kyodo News.
