On July 30, the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office conducted a mandatory investigation into the office and home of councilor Megumi Hirose.
Hirose is a Member of Parliament, elected for the first time in 2022. However, before she made a name for herself as a politician, it was discovered that she took part in a study tour in July 2023, where she was criticized by the Liberal Democratic Party Women’s Association for posting photos of the Eiffel Tower and other sights.
In February 2024, she apologized after a report about an affair she had with a Canadian saxophone player. Despite only being a Member of Parliament for two years, she continues to be the subject of bad news. Recently, her clothes have become more and more flamboyant, with bright red lipstick and a shirt with a deep V-shaped opening at the chest.
The issue of salary fraud was reported in March, but she insisted that it has.
