The communications ministry reprimanded 11 officials on Wednesday for ethics code violations after they were treated to expensive meals by officials of a broadcasting company, including the eldest son of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
An internal probe has found 13 officials have or are highly likely to have violated the National Public Service Ethics Law, which prohibits officials from receiving favors from stakeholders. The ministry determined that they have been wined and dined on a combined 39 occasions by Seigo Suga or other members of Tohokushinsha Film Corp., a company that offers satellite broadcasting services, for which the ministry grants licenses.
