Reporter: “Is it true that you are being questioned by the Special Investigation Department?” Former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, tournament organizing committee Reporter: Did Takahashi (former director) introduce you to the dinner? In the corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics, the Special Investigation Department said that Haruyuki Takahashi, 78, a former director of the organizing committee of the Tokyo Olympics, received bribes from major men’s clothing company Aoki and major publishing company Kadokawa in connection with the selection of tournament sponsors. I am investigating as such. Subsequent interviews with people involved revealed that the Special Investigation Department had voluntarily interviewed Mr. Mori multiple times as part of the investigation into this incident. Mr. Mori, who was visiting Ishikawa Prefecture today, did not respond to any inquiries. The Special Investigation Department is believed to have asked Mori about his interactions with the sponsor company and Takahashi’s authority. A lawyer representing Mr. Mori commented to JNN’s interview, “I will refrain from answering in case it interferes with the investigation.” ▼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
