Interviews with people involved revealed that suspicions of collusion have emerged in the bidding related to the “test competition” held before the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. Regarding the Tokyo Olympics, the defendant Haruyuki Takahashi (78), a former director of the organizing committee of the Games, has been indicted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office for accepting bribes. In the subsequent interviews with the people involved, it was found that new suspicions of collusion emerged through the investigation of this corruption case. In 2018, the Organizing Committee is suspected of having pre-arranged the companies that will receive orders, such as in the bidding conducted to outsource the planning work of the “test tournament”. According to published materials, there were a total of 26 related bids totaling approximately 500 million yen, with 9 companies including advertising giant Dentsu and 1 group winning bids.
