This is a new move in the corruption scandal surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. In addition to “AOKI” and “KADOKAWA”, advertising giant “ADK Holdings” has also emerged as a bribe to former director Takahashi of the organizing committee. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has arrested three people, including the president, on suspicion of bribery. On the 19th, the house of a former employee of the advertising giant “ADK Holdings” was searched over the darkness of “Olympic money”. Along with Dentsu and Hakuhodo, ADK Holdings, known as one of the three major advertising companies, has arrested three people, including president Shinichi Ueno. Ueno and others are suspected of giving bribes to facilitate the contract work of the tournament sponsors, but it was the fourth arrest for receiving bribes in return. Haruyuki Takahashi, former director of the Organizing Committee. The amount is about 47 million yen. Former Osaka District Public Prosecutor and Lawyer Masaki Kamei: “There have been bribes in a variety of businesses. It became clear that the case was covered in bribery.” Thinking about it, I point out the following about the fourth arrest. Former Osaka District Public Prosecutor and Lawyer Masaki Kamei: “Since Takahashi denies (taking bribes), the more he is prosecuted, the more the number of cases increases, the more the crime of bribery will be solidified. In that sense, the investigation is progressing as planned.” In addition, Takahashi also received bribes from Sun Arrow, which manufactures and sells stuffed animals of the official mascots of the tournament, Miraitowa and Someity. suspected. Takahashi is said to have received bribes from three companies so far, but with the addition of ADK Holdings and Sun Arrow, there are now five routes for money. There is also a flow through Takahashi’s golf companions in the new route, and it is believed that half of the bribe was transferred to this company. Former Osaka District Public Prosecutor, Lawyer Masaki Kamei: “(Q. Finding a new route is a step forward for the Special Investigation Department?) I guess. If it’s different from Commons 2, we’re increasing the number of receivers, so Takahashi. The former director’s perception of illegality, or rather, the fact that it is spread out because it will be found out in one place is one proof that he recognizes that this is bad.” The more you have, the more you can hide it.” ADK Holdings, which is one of the “big three advertising companies” and has produced many famous animations, would not have been able to do so without Takahashi’s convenience. Were you unable to participate in the competition? Shinya Kobayashi, a sports writer, said that Takahashi may have exploited the fact that Dentsu was the exclusive agency of the organizing committee. Sports writer Shinya Kobayashi: “Not all companies that want to sponsor the Olympics do business with Dentsu on a regular basis, so it’s only natural that they want to do it through the agency they’re always associated with. I think so.” Sponsors who want to work with familiar advertising companies and advertising companies that do not want to let go of their clients just because of the Olympics. Sports writer Shinya Kobayashi: “Takahashi has a detailed understanding of all these mechanisms, and he has brilliantly drawn a picture of how things will go well if he intervenes in the back routes.” ADK Holdings is a parking lot. He is involved in a sponsorship deal for the service “Park 24”, and the Special Investigation Department is investigating the connection.
