Education Minister Disputes Report of Political Fund Transgression

TOKYO, JAPAN - FEBRUARY 26: Education minister Hakubun Shimomura speaks to media reporters at the Education Ministry on February 26, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Shimomura denied receiving financial donations from groups not officially registered as political organizations, saying he has no knowledge about the activities of such groups. However, sources and opposition politicians say the Cabinet minister must be familiar with the groups known as Hakuyukai. Under the Political Fund Control Law, a political group is defined as "an organization that has as its primary objective endorsing or supporting a candidate for a specific public office." Donations from unregistered groups are a violation of the law. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
