In a corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics, a former director of the organizing committee was found to have instructed a company that manufactures and sells stuffed animals to pay compensation according to sales. According to people involved, former director of the organizing committee, Haruyuki Takahashi (78), has approached the organizing committee so that “Sun Arrow”, which manufactures and sells stuffed animals, can sell the mascot of the event. It is believed that he received millions of dollars. Subsequent interviews revealed that Takahashi was apparently instructing Sun Arrow to pay a reward according to the sales of the tournament mascot. It is said that Takahashi’s golf companion was the representative and designated a dormant company as the remittance destination. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office is expected to take criminal action against Takahashi, whose detention will expire on the 18th.
