elections. 2010-01-20T18:25:00Z These suspicions have been brewing since early last year, when an earlier investigation into separate fund-raising irregularities forced Mr. Ozawa to resign as leader of the Democrats on the eve of crucial national elections. 2010-01-20T07:21:00Z Hatoyama said on Saturday he would back Ozawa's decision to remain in his key post and urged him to fight on. 2010-01-18T09:25:00Z With this new scandal they have plummeted again, and Ozawa has become a symbol of a past that most Japanese would like to put behind them. 2010-01-29T16:07:00Z Mr. Ozawa has said "perfunctory errors" were made in recording activities of his fund-raising organization, but denied the use of illegal funds to buy the property. 2010-01-19T02:08:00Z "At this moment, the Prosecutors Office and Ozawa are fighting the final war," says Toshikawa. 2010-01-20T18:25:00Z Critics noted that prosecutors focused solely on Mr. Ozawa while declining to pursue Liberal Democratic lawmakers who were also named as taking money from the same company, Nishimatsu Construction. 2010-01-20T07:21:00Z Opposition parties have threatened to boycott parliamentary debate on an extra budget to prop up the economy if the ruling Democratic Party dodges questions about the scandal ensnaring its secretary-general, Ichiro Ozawa. 2010-01-18T09:25:00Z And that is why it may be time for Ozawa to step down as secretary-general. 2010-01-29T16:07:00Z As the DPJ's No. 2 official, Mr. Ozawa's responsibilities include coordinating parliamentary proceedings with opposition parties, in addition to overseeing personnel and financial affairs of the party. 2010-01-19T02:08:00Z At first he supported Ozawa and then vaguely backtracked. 2010-01-20T18:25:00Z But the unfolding investigation into possible financial irregularities by the kingpin of the governing party, Ichiro Ozawa, has also gripped Japan for a very different reason. 2010-01-20T07:21:00Z Prosecutors have arrested three current and former Ozawa aides on suspicion of improper reporting of political donations. 2010-01-18T09:25:00Z With most polls showing large majorities in favor of Ozawa stepping down, such a move could even prop up a Hatoyama government struggling to keep the public on its side. 2010-01-29T16:07:00Z While Mr. Ozawa has vowed to stay in power, and Mr. Hatoyama has backed him, it is unclear how long he can hold on if the probe goes much further. 2010-01-19T02:08:00Z A combative Ozawa, 67, pledged on Saturday to stay on as party secretary-general and do battle with prosecutors after their arrest of three aides in connection with the new scandal. 2010-01-17T03:45:00Z At a party convention over the weekend in Tokyo, Mr. Ozawa called for “all-out confrontation” with the prosecutors. 2010-01-20T07:21:00Z But 70 percent of respondents to the Yomiuri survey said Ozawa, who stepped down as party leader last year over a separate scandal, should resign from his No. 2 post. 2010-01-18T09:25:00Z In the years since, Ozawa has often been accused of engaging in the same sort of money politics that had been mastered by his mentor, including questionable ties with corporations. 2010-01-29T16:07:00Z Mr. Ishikawa, a protégé of Mr. Ozawa since becoming his personal secretary while still in college, served as a caretaker of his fund-raising organization in 2004, when alleged irregularities in its financial records first appeared. 2010-01-15T18:24:00Z Ozawa, the secretary-general of the ruling Democratic Party, has apologized over the affair and said there may have been "miscalculations" but he has denied any intentional wrong-doing. 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z On Tuesday, Mr. Ozawa held a news conference to apologize. 2010-01-14T03:48:00Z Ozawa told a news conference on Saturday after some four hours of questioning by prosecutors over the scandal he would stay on in the party's No. 2 post of secretary-general. 2010-01-24T14:54:00Z Prosecutors questioned Mr. Ozawa for four hours on Saturday over the scandal, in which three of his aides were arrested on suspicion of misreporting political donations. 2010-01-24T06:35:00Z Ozawa told a news conference on Saturday after four hours of questioning by prosecutors over the scandal he would stay on in the party's No. 2 post of secretary-general. 2010-01-24T04:11:00Z Even some within his own party said Ozawa needs to do a better job of explaining. 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z Ichiro Ozawa is considered a kingmaker in the ruling Democratic Party and is known in Japan as the "Shadow Shogun". 2010-01-23T11:43:00Z Some newspapers said prosecutors were probing the possibility Ozawa was involved in illegal activities. 2010-01-23T13:10:00Z Mr. Ozawa submitted to the questioning though he was not obligated to do so. 2010-01-24T06:35:00Z Mr. Ozawa, 74, who currently conducts the Vienna State Opera, told a news conference in Tokyo that he was diagnosed during a routine checkup late last year. 2010-01-08T08:04:00Z "If Ozawa is innocent then I hope he will fulfill his responsibility to explain straightforwardly to the people." 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z Police are investigating whether Mr Ozawa took bribes from construction firms to invest in property. 2010-01-23T11:43:00Z On Saturday, he repeated his hope that Ozawa was innocent. 2010-01-23T13:10:00Z Mr Kan already has a wide-ranging government portfolio, but the main alternatives for finance minister were also no friends of Mr Ozawa. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z Mr. Ozawa said he would cancel all his concerts until his tenure in Vienna expires in June. 2010-01-08T08:04:00Z Media reports say the scandal is over money for a land purchase that came from Ozawa and was not properly included in funding reports. 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z Backroom bruiser Mr Ozawa, 67, attend the questioning voluntarily at a Tokyo hotel. 2010-01-23T11:43:00Z Ozawa said he hoped for fair and calm reporting by media and a fair investigation by prosecutors, but refrained from criticizing the probe. 2010-01-23T13:10:00Z Mr Ozawa occupies an unparalleled position in Japanese politics. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z Mr. Ozawa has had health problems before and canceled all of his concerts for the Vienna State Opera in 2006 because of pneumonia and shingles. 2010-01-08T08:04:00Z Ozawa's image had already been tarnished by the indictment of an aide for taking illegal corporate donations, prompting him to quit as party leader last May. 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z The artist Ozawa has sketched the inside of a home in Japan, where the children are merrily enjoying the game of surprises. Harper's Young People, May 25, 1880 An Illustrated Weekly People close to him continue to be quizzed by prosecutors over funding issues; on Wednesday, the Asahi Shinbun reported that a Tokyo district court would summon Mr Ozawa for questioning. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z Some suggest that Mr Ozawa single-handedly persuaded the prime minister to scrap a campaign promise to cut petrol taxes without Mr Fujii’s agreement. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z “I have no problems drinking and eating,” said Mr. Ozawa, who conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly three decades until 2002. 2010-01-08T08:04:00Z Analysts say support for the government and the party could fall if Ozawa, widely seen as the most influential figure in the Democratic Party, is forced to step down ahead of the election. 2010-01-14T08:37:00Z Some believe Mr Ozawa’s recent assertiveness may be a shot across the prosecutors’ bows. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z However, it will not dispel the impression that Mr Hatoyama is, at times, worryingly like a puppet on Mr Ozawa’s string. 2010-01-06T05:49:00Z |
