Following Abe’s resignation, his eldest daughter released a letter. She wrote that “this was the first time I’d ever had such a big fight with my father” and also that “I broke down in tears when I saw him being taken away by the police.” She surely did not anticipate that the conversation with AI would turn out this way.
Opinions have emerged suggesting that former Yomiuri Giants manager Shinnosuke Abe should be given another opportunity. The return petition gained more than 130,000 signatures.
