Shinzo Abe killing: Hideo Kojima threatens to sue over false posts
A legendary video game developer has threatened to sue over hoax posts portraying him as Shinzo Abe 's killer.
Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima was linked to in pictures on website 4chan.
The images were shared by a French politician and broadcast by Greek and Iranian news outlets.
Kojima Productions said it " strongly condemns the spread of fake news and rumours that convey false Information ".
The 4chan post used a photo of Kojima and labelled him as a " left-wing extremist" with a criminal record.
It also included a picture of Kojima wearing a type of Ushanka, or fur hat, worn by soldiers in communist Russia, and another of Him Standing next to a picture of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara .
Screenshots on Social Media showed Damien Rieu , a French politician associated with the country's nationalist movement, had tweeted out images of Kojima with text translated to: " The far-left kills".
He has since deleted his tweet and to Kojima, saying he " naively took a joke for Information " and " was wrong not to check before sharing".
In response, The Game director's company tweeted a statement warning it would consider legal action over the spread of false Information .
