Major Japanese daily makes false report

Photo taken Aug. 28, 2025, shows the previous day's edition (R) of major Japanese daily the Yomiuri Shimbun carrying a front-page story reporting that prosecutors were investigating a secretary of Taku Ikeshita, a House of Representatives member from the opposition Japan Innovation Party, along with an "apology and correction" notice about the report in the Aug. 28 edition. In fact, the prosecutors searched the office of House of Councillors lawmaker Akira Ishii from the same party, not Ikeshita.
