Rirei Miura, whose husband was raided for investment troubles, has suffered “limited damage” despite the “increase in the number of anti-protesters and TV nuisance”.
Rurei Miura, an international political scientist, has once again released a statement — this time on the same floor as her husband.
She herself has become a “person in the middle” of the raid by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on the investment company “Tribay Capital” run by her husband, Kiyoshi. On the 20th of last month, on the website of the think tank “Wildcat Research Institute,” of which she is the president, she stated, “As for me, I have no intention of running my husband’s company at all.
I am not involved in the management of my husband’s company, and I have no knowledge of this, but I am willing to cooperate fully with the investigation.
I am not involved in the management of my husband’s company at all, and I have no knowledge of this.
Even so, the impact of the incident was so great that she was forced to cancel her appearance on Fuji Television’s “Mezamashi 8,” her regular Thursday program. The station said it made a “comprehensive judgment.
Although she says she is not involved in her husband’s business, her husband’s “relationship” with Ms. Miura has come under scrutiny due to his comments in her books and claims made in past TV programs. The frequent updates on Twitter have also ceased since the raid.
On February 6, Mr. Miura again released a statement on his official website. This is because some weekly magazines reported that the person representing Mr. Kiyoshi is the lawyer in charge of the lawsuit against the former Unification Church.
In response, Ms. Miura reported that she had confirmed with her husband the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the representative.
She said, “He was introduced to us by one of our business partners five years ago as an excellent former prosecutor, and he had been handling our lawsuits on an ongoing basis. As for the lawsuit, we were told that he would be assigned to another attorney.”
The report stated. Regarding the article
“Frankly, I was surprised to read the news report,” he said.
and that it was “news that caught my attention. He then added
I do not condone any of the activities of the former Unification Church, such as its psychic sales activities.
In fact, a TV station had actually been contacted by Mr. Miura.
In fact, TV stations are hesitant to use Miura because of his reported contacts with former FCC officials, even more so than the raid by the Special Investigation Department. According to one TV station official.
According to one TV station official, “The TV station is in a position to pursue the issue of the former Unification Church. From the standpoint of impartiality, it is difficult to have a person with a family member who has a conflict of interest with a former member of the Unification Church appear on the program.
This is even more so for a commentator like Ms. Miura. If we were to assume that he would return to the program, we had to send out a message somewhere that he was unrelated.”
The raid by the Special Investigation Department has damaged Ms. Miura more than her husband. Her TV appearances, one of her sources of income, have generally disappeared, and her online antagonists have proliferated, showering her with heartless comments.
One would think that the Miura’s would be suffering from this, but….
According to a person who knows Mr. Miura
He is not a recluse at home. She is looking at things very calmly, just as we see her on TV.
As for the investigation of her husband, she feels that ‘there is a possibility that he will not be prosecuted. She is just keeping quiet because she will be criticized no matter what she says.
The journalist Aito Suzuki, in fact, said that the two were not even involved in the investigation.
In fact, on February 3, journalist Aito Suzuki attended the 84th Bungei Shunju Readers’ Award ceremony on Twitter.
“I also spoke with Rurei Miura, one of the selection advisors, for the first time,” he reported.
The attached photo shows him wearing a white pantsuit. The attached photo shows Mr. Miura sitting in a white pants suit.
Incidentally, the Readers’ Choice Award went to “The Assassination of Former Prime Minister Abe and the Unification Church,” written by journalist Ken Mori and the Bungei Shunju Reporting Team. In other words, it is a work that takes a scalpel to the former Unification Church, and Mr. Miura, who chose this work, said in his aforementioned statement
I, for one, do not condone any of the activities of the former Unification Church, such as its psychic business.
It makes sense that Mr. Miura would say, “Mr. Miura does not appear on television, but he is a member of the Unification Church.
Even if Mr. Miura doesn’t appear on TV, he has plenty of offers to write. There are many people who criticize her emotionally, but she herself doesn’t seem to be depressed. The damage may not be that great.
The day may come when Mr. Miura strikes back.
