    If a bank holding company violates laws and regulations, its articles of incorporation, or a disposition by the Prime Minister based on the applicable laws and regulations, or commits an act that harms the public interest, the Prime Minister may order the bank holding company to dismiss its director, executive officer, accounting advisor, company auditor, or accounting auditor, order to take other measures that are necessary for supervision, or revoke the authorization referred to in Article 52-17, paragraph (1) or the proviso to Article 52-17, paragraph (3) for the bank holding company, or may order a bank that is the subsidiary company of that bank holding company to suspend all or part of its services. In such a case, the authorization for incorporation referred in paragraph (1) of that Article is deemed to have been granted to the bank holding company incorporated by obtaining that authorization.
