Tokyo prosecutors will likely not indict former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe after he again denied any involvement in the unreported payments his support group used to cover the costs of lavish dinner parties, sources said.
Abe had been questioned on a voluntary basis by the special investigation squad of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, the sources said on Dec. 22.
His chief state-paid aide, who heads the support organization, has admitted to not reporting the payments in its income and expenditure reports on political funds, a possible violation of the Political Fund Control Law, the sources said.
