Tokyo, Dec 26 : Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has apologized in the Lower House of Parliament for false statements he had made earlier regarding an allegation that a group managing his political funds partially covered the costs of dinner receptions for supporters.
Sources close to the matter said the lower house’s research bureau found Abe made 118 statements in Parliament that were incongruous with the facts, reports Xinhua news agency.
Such lies, reportedly, comprise denials by his camp of covering the shortfall of the supporters’ dinner functions and the need to keep financial records.
