The fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has brought to light relationships between the religious group widely known as the Unification Church and politicians in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the opposition camp.
At a press conference on Friday, Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Minister Shinsuke Suematsu admitted that people linked to the group officially called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification had bought tickets for his political fund-raising parties.
