Minister Obuchi Quits

Japan's Economy, Trade and Industrial Minister Yuko Obuchi has stepped down over her financial scandal. She provided some tours for her supporters and it might be against the law. In addition, she might spend political money for her own family. For example, she bought her child's baby buggy using her political fund and spend the money at her relatives' shop so often. 

I think she is guilty of Political fund control law, but like many other cases she would escape from the prosecution at the end. Some of her secretaries or supporting stuff might get punishment instead of the former minister. That's the way it is with ruling party.
