A scandal broke out again in the Japanese political and business circles today. Former Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee director Takahashi Haruyuki was arrested for accepting bribes.

Takahashi was only recently arrested for a bribery case of another suit brand “AOKI”. AOKI paid about 51 million yen in bribes through a consultant contract to obtain the official sponsor contract of the East Olympics.
According to the prosecutor’s investigation, Kadokawa seems to have used a similar method to obtain publication contracts such as the official guidebook for the Tokyo Olympics, with a related amount of 76 million yen. Arrest Takahashi again.
At the same time, the prosecution also interviewed Kadokawa Liyan Kadokawa, and searched the company’s headquarters and Kadokawa Liyan’s mansion. Kadokawa Akihiko told the media that he did not participate in the decision-making, and only received reports that he knew that the money was used to deal with his sports business consulting money. He believed in the employees, so he was completely unaware of the bribery.
At present, this series of bribery cases are still continuing to burn. Following AOKI and Kadokawa, the latest news is that Nippon Dentsu has also been investigated.
