Japanese media on October 24 that the assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was scheduled for trial next week in the Narai district court, and the defendant also faces charges of murder and violation of the gun tool law. the court is expected to deliver a verdict in January next year.

On July 8, 2022, Abe was shot in the streets of Nara City as an assistant speech for a candidate for the Democratic Party senator, after several hours of rescue, and was killed at the age of 67.

According to sources in Japanese media, Mount Shenyang confessed that he ranked Abe as the target of the assassination because Abe's grandfather and former prime minister Shenyang helped bring the "World Peaceful reunification family federation" (formerly the "unified church") into Japan, while Mount Shenyang's mother had donated about 100 million yen (approximately RMB 4,66 million) to the religious group, causing the family to fall into trouble.

According to the schedule released by the Nara District Court, the case is scheduled to begin on the 28th of this month and end on December 18th. The verdict is expected to be pronounced on January 21 next year. During this period, 12 witnesses will appear in court to testify, including Tetsuya Yamada's mother.

According to the source, Tetsuya Yamagami is expected to plead guilty in the trial, and the defense team may ask the court for a lighter sentence on the grounds that he suffered "religious abuse" during his growth. Japanese media believe that the sentencing of Tetsuya Yamagami will become the focus of debate between the prosecution and the defense.

Before prosecuting Tetsuya Yamagami, the prosecution conducted a psychiatric appraisal for about six months, and determined that he had criminal responsibility.

In March, the Tokyo District Court of Japan ruled that the World Federation for Peaceful reunification of Families would be dissolved by forcing donations to be raised and inflicting massive losses on believers.
