The Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly is reeling from a bribery scandal. Assemblyman Yoshimatsu, who made the accusation, submitted a resolution calling for the resignation of Chairman Kurauchi, known as the "Don," but the vote was cancelled by a motion at an extraordinary session. What happened during the "two-hour gap" before the assembly began, approximately two hours later than scheduled? Zigzag conducts an emergency investigation into the events behind the scenes. Former Osaka Prefecture Governor Toru Hashimoto also offers his perspective on this issue.
