Hatoyama implicated in multiple scandals

Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama indicated Nov. 4 he may have over-bankrolled his political fund management body but claimed it was his understanding that funds in excess of the Yen 10 million limit he can personally kick in constituted a loan he would later get back.

Hatoyama made the admission when he and his Democratic Party of Japan-led Cabinet came under renewed fire before the Lower House Budget Committee by the opposition camp, mainly members of the ex-ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

The admission comes on the heels of a Nov. 2 revelation that Hatoyama had failed to declare income from stock sales. The prime minister apologized for failing to declare the income and blamed a communications breakdown with his office personnel.(The Japan Times)
