In July of this year, Dentsu’s home was raided in connection with the Olympic corruption scandal. Today, I was newly subjected to a compulsory investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Fair Trade Commission on suspicion of collusion. The problem was the “test competition” of the Olympics. It was done before the tournament to check the security situation, the flow of players, how to receive spectators, etc. at the same venue as the actual event. In 2018, the Organizing Committee placed orders for 26 projects, including planning work, and submitted bids. Nine companies, including Dentsu, won the bid, and the total contract amount was more than 500 million yen. An official of the organizing committee told JNN, “There is a possibility that the operation of the venue for the Olympic Games was decided in an opaque manner.” A person involved in the organizing committee of the tournament “That’s a collusion. Dentsu is allocating and allocating the number of 43 competition venues, and it is a person who is guilty of unfair trade restrictions under the Antimonopoly Act. We talked a little (internally) about the possibility of unfair trade restrictions.” A person involved in the test competition also testified about the relationship between the “test competition” and the “Olympics”. A person related to the contractor: “The organizing committee asked me to provide an estimate for the operation of the main tournament at the same venue. About 16 billion yen. If you include measures such as corona measures, it is expected to be even more enormous. Today, the special investigation unit is searching the home of a former executive of the tournament organizing committee in addition to Dentsu, etc., and it is expected that the actual situation will be clarified. ▼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
