TOKYO: Japan’s top government spokesman said on Friday that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s wife did not donate money to a school at the centre of a ballooning political scandal.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga had said on Thursday he had confirmed with Abe that the premier had not made a donation himself or through a third party including his wife, Akie. He added then that the government was checking on whether Akie herself had donated to Moritomo Gakuen, the school operator.
