The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has decided to re-arrest a former director of the organizing committee on suspicion of accepting bribes in a corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. This is the fourth time that a former director has been arrested. Haruyuki Takahashi, a former director of the Organizing Committee, has been arrested three times so far for accepting bribes from companies that sponsor the tournament, and the total amount of the charges has reached more than 140 million yen. Subsequent interviews with people involved revealed that the Special Investigation Department had established a policy to re-arrest Takahashi on suspicion of accepting bribes. Tokyo-based stuffed toy maker Sun Arrow is suspected of receiving bribes in return for working with the organizing committee to sell the stuffed toy used as the mascot of the Games as an officially licensed product. In addition, there is a suspicion that Takahashi worked with Dentsu to allow the advertising company ADK Holdings to handle operations related to the sponsorship contract. I am still investigating.
