Abstract

(Bloomberg) -- The head of a fringe religious group cited as a motivation in the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered to set up a compensation fund, as the group faces lawsuits and demands for donations to be returned. Tetsuya Yamagami, the accused in last year's fatal shooting of the former premier, has said he targeted Abe because of his connections to the church, which Yamagami blamed for bankrupting his family by taking excessive donations.
