DPJ struggles with Ozawa, Okubo brouhaha

The Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) was in turmoil March 25 after DPJ President Ichiro Ozawa announced the previous evening he will stay on despite his top aide's indictment over illegal corporate donations.

Takanori Okubo, 47, was indicted March 24 for falsifying Ozawa's political funds reports from 2003 to 2006, allegedly taking Y35 million in donations from Nishimatsu Construction Co. that were funneled through two political bodies.

Despite the decision by party executives to stand by Ozawa ahead of a Lower House general election that must be held by fall, many DPJ lawmakers voiced criticism of the DPJ leader and those who supported him. (Kyodo News)
