Police have now arrested three aides to Mr Ozawa, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party (DPJ), seen by many as Japan's most influential1 politician.

Mr Ozawa admits misunderstandings over a suspicious可疑的，怀疑的 land deal but insists he has done nothing wrong.

The DPJ民主党 came to power in September but has been dogged跟踪，尾随 by corruption3 claims.

Mr Ozawa, who as secretary-general is second in command of the DPJ, lashed4 out at Tokyo prosecutors5 after they arrested his third aide on Friday.

"I will stay on to fulfil my given duty, and squarely fight against such an exercise of power [by prosecutors]," he said.

"Our funds have nothing to do with money that is illegal."

The BBC's Roland Buerk, in Tokyo, says Mr Ozawa is so powerful in the DPJ that some have called him the "Shadow Shogun幕府时代的将军".

He is credited with engineering last year's election victory which ended half a century of conservative dominance.

Since then, the government has leaned heavily on his skills as a combative6 backroom暗中的，私下的 deal maker7, our correspondent says.

Support

The allegations surround Mr Ozawa's political fundraising organisation8 and its purchase of a plot of land in the capital Tokyo.

Prosecutors are investigating the origin of about 400m yen9 ($4m; £2.7m) used to buy the land in 2004.

Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has said he is standing2 by Mr Ozawa.

"Secretary-General Ozawa has said that he has not broken any laws. As the leader of the Democratic Party, I believe in Secretary-General Ozawa," he said.

Mr Hatoyama has himself been caught up in an alleged10 scandal over funding.

In December he apologised after two former aides were charged with misreporting millions of dollars of donations.

Correspondents say claims of corruption and financial scandal will erode侵蚀，腐蚀 support for the government, which is under huge pressure to rescue Japan's ailing12 economy病态经济.

Parliament will convene13聚集，召集 on Monday to begin debating the largest budget in Japan's history.

The country's debt is already the largest in the developed world.
