Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi faces a criminal complaint for allegedly accepting an illegal 10 million yen ($64,400) corporate donation, exceeding the 7.5 million yen legal limit. The case is linked to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)'s ongoing slush fund scandal, in which party factions reportedly funneled off-the-books funds back to lawmakers. Seven of Takaichi's senior appointees have ties to the scandal, and critics say her stance shows little appetite for meaningful reform.
