TOKYO, March 23 (Xinhua) -- Yasunori Kagoike, a school operator in a land deal scandal in Japna, testified under oath on Thursday that he received 1 million yen (8,900 U.S. dollars) from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wife Akie.
Kagoike, head of Moritomo Gakuen school, said in the House of Councillors Budget Committee that Akie gave him an envelop containing 1 million yen on behalf of her husband before giving a speech at the kindergarten run by the school operator on Sept. 5, 2015.
He also said that the prime minister's wife had sent emails requiring them to hush up about the donation.
