Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered an investigation into a South Korean religious organization known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, more commonly known as the Unification Church or "Moonies," amidst a growing scandal between his party and the church. The Unification Church is notorious for its bizarre teachings, abusive practices, and mass weddings. PM Kishida instructed his Education and Culture Minister Keiko Nagaoka to probe the ties between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the church. This decision came after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, the suspect of the killing, said he assassinated Abe over his apparent ties with the church. According to Yamagami, the church defrauded his mother into donating around 100 million yen or $672,000 US Dollars. Tetsuya targeted Shinzo Abe because of his perceived sympathies to the Moonies, and his grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, helped the Unification Church expand in Japan in the 1950s. An internal survey of the Liberal Democratic Party discovered that almost half of their legislators had some connections with the church. Prime Minister Kishida pledged to remove the party's ties to the church. The Unification Church, which has around 100,000 active members in Japan, could lose its tax-exempt status, depending on the result of the investigation and a court ruling.
