Prosecutors have raided the workplaces of Japan’s governing Liberal Democratic Social gathering amid a political funding scandal regarding allegations that occasion officers didn’t declare a mixed 600 million yen ($4.18 million) in fundraising proceeds, directing cash to faction-run slush funds, Aljazeera reports. Investigators from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors’ Workplace searched the workplaces of two LPD factions related to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and former secretary-general Toshihiro Nikai. The scandal has fuelled public discontent with the LPD and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, whose approval scores have dropped to among the lowest ranges within the nation’s post-war historical past.
