 Tribay Capital&#8221; was raided by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office after criminal charges were filed against the company for defrauding a client of approximately 1 billion yen under the guise of investing in solar power generation. The owner of the company, Kiyoshi Miura, is the husband of Rurei Miura, a well-known international political scientist who has appeared on TV.

 On January 23, Rurei appeared for the first time since the revelations of the raid on the Bungei Shunju e-edition&#8217;s &#8220;Talk on Flames&#8221; program. There, she said
 I myself am not involved in the management of my husband&#8217;s company in any way, so I don&#8217;t know the details,&#8221; she said. And since I have been asked to refrain from commenting on matters under investigation, it is difficult for me to comment on such circumstances, but I am sorry for your concern.
 I am sorry for your concern,&#8221; he said.
 As for terrestrial broadcasting, however, he has cancelled his regular appearance on &#8220;Mezamashi 8&#8221; (Fuji Television Network), which was to be broadcast on the 26th. The station stated that he would not appear on the program for the time being, citing a &#8220;comprehensive judgment.
 He was also scheduled to appear on &#8220;Live TV till Morning&#8221; (TV Asahi) on the 27th, but his name was quietly removed on the 25th.

 Naturally, her husband&#8217;s &#8220;house search&#8221; is thought to be a factor behind her decision not to appear on the program. However, what really put the kibosh on the appearance was an article in Gendai Business on the 25th titled &#8220;Rirei Miura&#8217;s Husband, a Lawyer for the Unification Church, is Being Driven by the Special Investigation Department! The article was probably the most significant.
 According to the article, Shuya Fukumoto, an active member of the former Unification Church (Family Federation for World Peace and Unification), represented Seiji in a civil lawsuit in Kyoto District Court in 2008.
 Mr. Kiyoshi may not have been aware of this since it was before the shooting of former Prime Minister Abe,&#8221; said Mr. Fukumoto. However, I wonder why he chose Mr. Fukumoto, who is an advisory lawyer for the Unification Church, out of more than 40,000 lawyers in Japan.
 The article also includes a comment from a lawyer of the National Association of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales Lawyers that &#8220;Lawyer Fukumoto is a believer.
 Of course, the relationship between Mr. Kiyoshi and the Unification Church is unknown, but if Mr. Fukumoto, who appeared at the church&#8217;s press conference along with Hideyuki Teshigawara and was upset with the media, is representing him, it is not surprising that TV stations would be alarmed by all the speculation about her husband.
 Speaking of the Unification Church, there is a strong possibility that the Cultural Affairs Agency will exercise its right to ask questions, followed by a request for a dissolution order. The reason is that many people are suffering from high donations from psychic and other sources. The family of Tetsuya Yamagami, the defendant who shot former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, also reported that his mother had made a donation of 100 million yen. In response, Rurei said, &#8220;It&#8217;s the same if you win at horse races,&#8221; which drew flames in the past,&#8221; said a person involved in a wide-ranging TV show.
 The TV station official mentioned above said
 Unless she can clearly explain her husband&#8217;s allegations and other unclear matters, we cannot allow her to appear on TV. That is an absolute condition.
 He said. Even if Rurei is a completely bona fide third party, the impact on her work as a commentator seems to be significant.
