It is believed that AOKI asked the former director of the organizing committee, who was arrested in a corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, for the official attire worn by the athletes at the opening ceremony. In this case, Haruyuki Takahashi (78), a former director of the organizing committee of the Games, was asked by Hironori Aoki (83), the founder of major men’s clothing company AOKI, for convenience such as a sponsorship contract for the Olympics. He was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on suspicion of receiving a bribe of approximately 51 million yen. In the interview with the people concerned after that, it was found that the official clothes worn by the Japanese team at the opening and closing ceremonies of the tournament also seemed to have asked Takahashi for convenience so that AOKI would be adopted. However, the selection of official clothing was not done by the organizing committee where Takahashi was, but by the JOC = Japan Olympic Committee, and AOKI was selected in a competition format in 2019. One member of the selection committee testified to JNN’s interview that “I don’t have the impression that AOKI was selected from the beginning.” The Special Investigation Department is believed to be clarifying the details of the convenience requested by AOKI. ▼TBS NEWS DIG official website https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to the channel! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6AG81pAkf6Lbi_1VC5NmPA?sub_confirmation=1 ▼Provide information here “TBS Insiders” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-insiders.html ▼Provide video Click here for “TBS Scoop Post” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.html
