Suspected bid-rigging for the Tokyo Olympics and Para ``Test Tournament'' Were organizing committee staff involved

Due to suspicion of collusion over the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics test competition, it was found that officials of the Games Organizing Committee were suspected of listening to the wishes of vendors such as advertising companies before bidding. There are suspicions that the contracting companies were pre-adjusted in the bidding that the Tokyo Games Organizing Committee conducted in 2018 to entrust the planning work of the “test tournament”. Bids were held for each venue, and 9 companies and 1 organization, including the major advertising company “Dentsu”, won the bid. In subsequent interviews with related parties, it was newly discovered that there was a new suspicion that before the bidding, officials of the Organizing Committee of the Games were listening to the vendors’ intentions regarding which venue they wanted. Staff members from advertising companies on the client side were also seconded to the Organizing Committee. The Special Investigation Department and the Fair Trade Commission are believed to be cooperating in the investigation. ▼TBS NEWS DIG official website https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Please subscribe to the channel! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6AG81pAkf6Lbi_1VC5NmPA?sub_confirmation=1 ▼Provide information here “TBS Insiders” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/tbs-insiders.html ▼Provide video Click here for “TBS Scoop Post” https://www.tbs.co.jp/news_sp/toukou.html
