Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said Thursday that he has instructed his eldest son on the phone to cooperate with a possible investigation into a wining-and-dining scandal involving the 39-year-old.
The scandal was initially reported by weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun. The report said that four senior Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry officials, including Yasuhiko Taniwaki, vice minister for policy coordination, were separately wined and dined by Suga s son Seigo, who works for Tokyo-based satellite broadcast-related firm Tohokushinsha Film Corp.
