Masako Akagi, the widow of a former ministry official, is seeking the disclosure of documents detailing the high-profile records-tampering scandal involving school operator Moritomo Gakuen.
The widow of a former Finance Ministry bureaucrat who took his own life after he was ordered to falsify documents on Oct. 11 asked Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to reopen the probe into the Moritomo Gakuen educational institution scandal.
Kishida has so far remained reluctant to order a reinvestigation into the document tampering scandal related to the dubious land transaction with Moritomo Gakuen.
