TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's ministry of finance will admit altering documents involved in a state-owned land sale, Kyodo News reported on Saturday, in a cronyism scandal that threatens to erode Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's popularity.

The ministry will make a report to parliament on Monday, the news agency said, citing multiple unidentified government sources.
