TOKYO, Nov 17 (AFP): Japan's Defence Ministry will dismiss a senior bureaucrat following revelations that he received money from a former vice defence minister already involved in a bribery scandal, media said Saturday.
The ministry will replace defence policy chief Nobuki Kawamura, 47, for having received a total of 45 million yen (405,000 dollars) from scandal-hit Takemasa Moriya, news reports said, quoting ministry officials.
