According to the Japan Broadcasting Association, three years later, Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe was shot in court for the first time today (28 October), and he also pleaded guilty to the prosecution charges.

On July 8, 2022, Shinzo Abe was shot while giving an election speech for Liberal Democratic Party Senate candidates on the streets of Nara City. He died after several hours of rescue. He was 67 years old. Toru Yamayama was arrested on the spot. According to Tetsuya Yamayama, he listed Shinzo Abe as an assassination target because Abe's grandfather and former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi had helped introduce the "World Federation of Families for Peace and Unity", the former "Unity Church", to Japan. Tetsuya Yamada's mother donated about 100 million yen (about 4.66 million yuan) to the religious group, causing the family to be in trouble.
