Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa on Tuesday released details of how his political management body spent the large amounts of money listed as "office expenses" on his political funding reports from 2003 to 2005.
Of key interest was how Ozawa spent the 415 million yen logged in his 2005 report. The DPJ leader handed out documents showing that his office spent 90 percent of it on real estate for offices to be used for his political activities.
Ozawa again demanded that Cabinet members and other ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers accused of logging unusually high office expenses also disclose details of their spending.
