The Japanese affiliate of a South Korean-founded religious group confirmed the mother of the person charged with assassinating former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a member, as claimed by his alleged killer.
The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, formerly known as the Unification Church, held a briefing for selected Japanese news organisations on Monday, according to a member of the public relations staff at the religious group’s Tokyo office, who asked not to be identified by name.
