In a bribery case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it has been found that a former director of the organizing committee is believed to have intervened with a company that was decided to be a sponsor separately from “AOKI Holdings”. Former director of the Organizing Committee, Haruyuki Takahashi (78), is suspected of receiving 51 million yen in total from AOKI. According to a person involved, before AOKI Holdings was selected as an “official supporter”, it was asked to pay 750 million yen for the sponsorship fee, which is said to be around 1.5 billion yen. In subsequent interviews, it was newly found that Takahashi was believed to have also intervened with a company that was decided to be a sponsor, apart from AOKI Holdings. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is believed to be investigating how Takahashi was involved in the process of sponsoring contracts with multiple companies and the actual status of his duties as a director.
