Criminal

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and killed in 2022. Soon after, an investigative journalist named Eito Suzuki started drawing connections between his murder and the Unification Church - whose followers are known as the “Moonies.” Phoebe interviews New Yorker writer Tammy Kim about the story.

You can read Tammy Kim's piece for The New Yorker here.
