In addition, Haruyuki Takahashi, former director of the organizing committee, was arrested again on suspicion of accepting bribes. According to the Special Investigation Department, Ueno and others are suspected of having asked Takahashi to take charge of work related to the contract with the sponsor of the tournament, and paid a bribe of about 14 million yen.
