The development came as satellite broadcaster Tohokushinsha Film Corp., where Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's eldest son Seigo Suga works, is set to have a license for one of its channels revoked in May. That follows its admission that it violated a rule under the law that requires less than 20% of voting rights in a broadcaster be controlled by foreign shareholders.
