Part 5/9:
Abe's suspected assassin expressed animosity towards the church, claiming it had led to his family's bankruptcy. In light of the church's questionable operational practices and its deep-rooted political connections, Japan's Ministry of Education and Culture petitioned for the dissolution, resulting in the court stripping the church of its religious status. The implications of this ruling are serious: the church will lose its tax-exempt status and face asset liquidation, demonstrating the Japanese government's commitment to reforming oversight within religious organizations.
