In connection with the corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it was found that the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office voluntarily asked Tsunekazu Takeda, the former chairman of the JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee, as a witness. In this case, Haruyuki Takahashi, a former director of the Organizing Committee, is said to have received a bribe from a company that was a sponsor of the tournament, and the total amount of cases so far has exceeded 120 million yen. According to those involved, Takahashi has denied any wrongdoing during the interrogation. In the subsequent interviews, it was newly found that the special investigation department had voluntarily asked Mr. Tsunekazu Takeda, the former chairman of the JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee, as a witness by the 16th.
