The Tokyo District Court has found former Upper House member Yasumasa Ohno guilty of violating the Political Funds Control Act. Ohno was accused of making false entries in financial reports by failing to record kickbacks received from political fundraising parties. These parties were organized by the former Abe faction of the Liberal Democratic Party. As a result of the trial, the court ordered Ohno to pay a fine of 600,000 yen. However, the court ruled that he was not guilty regarding some of the specific charges brought against him. This ruling is part of a broader investigation into the financial irregularities of the LDP's former Abe faction.
