Chapter 236 Scandal
Regarding the list of Japanese politicians suspected of accepting bribes sent by Muddy Waters, the investigators of the "Yomiuri Shimbun" only need to check the list of shareholders of Rikulut Co., Ltd. before listing to confirm the authenticity. The list of shareholders is kept in the archives of the Securities Agency Department of Toyo Trust Bank, the listing sponsor of Kurut Co., Ltd. Because Rikulut Co., Ltd. is a listed company, things like the list of shareholders are not secrets, so the "Yomiuri Shimbun" successfully confirmed the authenticity of Muddy Water's information.
In order to make the most of the big news at hand, the Yomiuri Shimbun did not publish all of its content at once, because the people on this list are only people close to the politicians, not the politicians themselves, so they are the first to be made public. The most important ones are those who openly accept bribes in their own name. For example, Yasushi Morita, the president of Nihon Keizai Shimbun, who praised Rikulut Co., Ltd. before its listing. On the other hand, a reporter from the "Yomiuri Shimbun" got in touch with Muddy Waters, and they planned to go to Switzerland to visit this mysterious company in person, and find out what this company, which is called the urging talisman of the Japanese industry, is. backing.
Just after the "Yomiuri Shimbun" announced the scandal of Morita Yasushi accepting bribes, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun immediately denied the "Yomiuri Shimbun"'s accusation, but the "Yomiuri Shimbun" quickly found out that Toyo Trust Bank Securities Co., Ltd. The daimyo of Morita Yasushi in the agency department, and the transaction records of Morita Yasushi buying and selling Rikuruto Co., Ltd. stock. Now that the evidence is solid, Morita Yasushi can't afford it anyway.
Just in the morning, Yasushi Morita, who boldly assured the reporters who came to interview him that he was innocent, was taken away by the police of the Metropolitan Police Department that afternoon. At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department also sent people to the Securities Agency Department of Toyo Trust Bank to take away the list of shareholders of Rikulut Co., Ltd. before its listing. Within hours, the Rikulut stock incident was making headlines.
Just after the police searched the securities agency department of Toyo Trust Bank and Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the "Yomiuri Shimbun" published Muddy Water Company together with the investigation results it had obtained in a special issue. The police reported the persons involved in the case on the list.
The behavior of "Yomiuri Shimbun" is no less than dropping a nuclear bomb on Japan's political arena, and the media's follow-up reports have made these people on the list invisible, and their relationship with the politicians behind them will soon disappear was dug out by the media. The most notable of these is of course Takao Fujinami, Chief Cabinet Secretary appointed by Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita. Fujinami Takao's home and office were crowded with journalists who came to interview him. Fuji TV and even directly dispatched a radio truck to follow up and report the progress of the situation 24 hours a day.
When Nobu Takeshita read the news about Rikuluto Co., Ltd. from the newspaper, he almost had a heart attack. He never expected that the stock exchange of Rikulut Co., Ltd. would be revealed by someone.
"Baga!" Takeshita roared angrily in his office, and casually threw the ashtray on his coffee table onto the TV. After the TV failed to fake a spark, the room fell silent.
At this moment, Takeshita Nodo's chief cabinet secretary, Fujinami Takao, walked into the room. With little extra expression, he directly prostrated himself at Takeshita Nodo's feet, and then said in a voice that was more mournful than heartbroken: "Teacher, I caused you trouble..."
Takeshita Deng looked at his favorite student, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. His trust in Fujinami is beyond doubt, otherwise he would not be placed in the position of Chief Cabinet Secretary. But now the matter of Rikulut Co., Ltd. has been exposed. Whose name is on the list of shareholders,
It won't be long before all the citizens will know that Fujinami Takao is absolutely unable to escape.
"Fujiha-kun, I think you can figure it out, the police will come to you soon, what should I say then, don't I need to remind you?"
"Teacher, you are the person I respect the most. I would rather die than let your reputation be tarnished at all..." Fujinami Takao said firmly.
Takeshita Toki looked at Fujinami kneeling in front of him, speechless for a long time. In the end, Takeshita said to Gianna, Fujinami’s filial son: “Fujiha-kun, I’m sorry for you, you’d better go home and rest for a while, you’re still young, and you still have a long way to go…”
After hearing these words, Fujinami Takao thanked Takeshita Nobo again, and was then firmly supported from the ground by Takeshita Tobo. He bowed deeply to Takeshita Deng, and then slowly left the office.
With the help of the list, the police investigation went very smoothly. But there is not only a list, but also missing evidence. Therefore, the police had to search for the transaction records of these people from the vast amount of stock transaction information of Rikulut Co., Ltd., which is a very cumbersome matter. However, the Metropolitan Police Department has already arrested the people on the list and canceled their passports. In this way, these people cannot legally go abroad.
Since the post-war period, the Liberal Democratic Party has really dominated the Japanese political arena. They not only firmly occupy the majority of the National Assembly, but also control some enterprises and units that are key to the state. This makes it impossible for other parties in Japan to compete with the Liberal Democratic Party. Inside the Liberal Democratic Party, there are many factions, and among these small groups, the factions of Nakasensee Pai led by the former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone and the factions of "Anzhu Palace" are even more complicated. At the beginning, Nakasone Yasuhiro was forced to resign as prime minister because of the scandalous news between him and Kabuki. He deliberately selected Takeshita Totohito's own successor, who has no background, with the purpose of secretly manipulating the Liberal Democratic Party after his resignation.
It's a pity that Takeshita is not a stable master either. He quickly disintegrated his predecessor's influence on the Liberal Democratic Party by playing tricks. This has firmly occupied the throne of prime minister. But now, the Liberal Democratic Party and Rikuluto Co., Ltd. are involved too deeply. At the beginning, Takeshita Deng was afraid that he would have today, so he asked his Chief Cabinet Secretary to come forward to accept the money. But now the least expected thing happened. As the prime minister and the leader of the party, Takeshita cannot be shirked anyway.
Takeshita Deng prayed from the bottom of his heart that God would allow him to pass through the danger again. But now fate is out of his control. Now he is eager to know how the things about Rikulut Co., Ltd. were leaked.
