TOKYO, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's mother may have surreptitiously given him millions of yen for his political campaigns, sources say.
Investigators are having difficulty untangling Hatoyama's contributions from his mother's, The Asahi Shimbun reported. Yasuko Hatoyama's father founded the tire maker Bridgestone Corp., and the family's finances are managed by a corporation, Rokko Shokai.
