| | Ho-no-Hana offered 5 mil. yen to assemblyman, police say (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | After the Shizuoka prefectural government registered the organization, Ho-no-Hana began buying about 1.8 hectares of land in the city in 1988 and began constructing Fuji Tenseimura, the facility that would eventually function as its headquarters, at a cost of about 4 billion yen. |
 | | With regard to the organization's bids to be registered elsewhere, an official of the Tokyo metropolitan government said, "As this happened more than 10 years ago, we have no way of confirming what happened." The two prefectural governments also said they did not have details of the applications. |
 | | Meanwhile, a joint investigation squad from the Metropolitan Police Department and Shizuoka prefectural police sent Hogen Fukunaga, whose real first name is Teruyoshi, and the 11 leading members of Ho-no-Hana who were also arrested Tuesday to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on Wednesday. |
