DPJ suspends Ozawa's membership

DPJ suspends Ozawa's membership

Ichiro Ozawa

The Democratic Party of Japan handed former chief and DPJ heavyweight Ichiro Ozawa a three-month suspension for abstaining to vote on DPJ Prime Minister Naoto Kan’s no-confidence motion. Seven other members were suspended alongside Ozawa and five rookie members received warnings. Two who voted for the no-confidence motion were expelled from the party.

Ozawa is already in trouble due to a pending ruling on a slush-fund scandal. I recommend he spend his three-month suspension enjoying his life before he goes to prison.
