The next scandal ?
The next scandal is in the making. Tax fraud this time. Futagoyama-beya
seems to be under investigation, but other Heya may join soon. The weekly
post has it in the new edition on the net (www.weekly-post.com).
The cause is said to be the money paid for Oyakata Kabu (also in the book
of Onaruto Oyakata). No receipts are given and the actual price is open to
speculation. The money comes from sumo sponsors (Tanimachi), and the tax
police wants to bring some light into the dark channels. Futagoyama-oyakata
recently bought his forth Kabu, for Takanonami.
Some time ago, the list of biggest tax payers in Japan (Choja Banzuke) was
published. Takanohana was on a quite high rank in the sports category. Both
he, his father, mother and brother (Futagoyama-oyakata, Okami-san,
Wakanohana) are on the list.
