Former director of the tournament organizing committee KADOKAWA is also an intermediary Tokyo Olympics bribery case

A former director of the organizing committee of the Tokyo Olympics, who was arrested in a bribery case, was found to be suspected of working with the major publishing company “KADOKAWA” to the organizing committee. Haruyuki Takahashi (78), a former director of the tournament organizing committee, is suspected of accepting bribes from AOKI over the sponsorship contract for the tournament. According to people involved, after signing a sponsorship contract with the organizing committee, KADOKAWA signed a consulting contract with a company acquainted with Takahashi, paying a total of about 70 million yen, part of which went to Takahashi. It is possible that KADOKAWA President Tsuyoshi Natsuno “I said that there was no person involved (in regards to Takahashi’s convenience),” and “I would like to think that there was no problem with the contract?” However, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office’s Special Investigation Department is believed to be working to elucidate the matter by interviewing KADOKAWA executives on a voluntary basis.
