• Yasuhiro Nakagawa said he submitted a review request dated Sept. 25 and announced the move at a Sept. 28 news conference in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture.
• Osaka tax authorities concluded there was about ¥800 million in undeclared income tied to Nakagawa and family-run firms, leading to roughly ¥500 million in additional taxes and penalties.
• Investigators judged that around ¥300 million funneled from related companies constituted Nakagawa’s personal undeclared income.
• Auditors allege about ¥500 million was concealed over seven years through fake receipts and disguised subcontract costs linked to JA Kyoto–ordered projects, including a 2018 building demolition.
• Nakagawa denied receiving corporate profits and called the transactions legitimate, while he and several family companies seek cancellation of the assessments through the tribunal.
