The daughter of Diet lawmaker Makiko Tanaka has sought a court order forcing a publisher to pay fines of 30 million yen for every day that a weekly magazine featuring an article about her private life remains on store shelves, it was learned Thursday.
On Tuesday, the Tokyo District Court issued a temporary injunction banning Bungei Shunju Ltd. from selling its popular Shukan Bunshun.
The request for indirect enforcement of the injunction order was made at the same court, according to sources.
