On the 28th, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Japan Fair Trade Commission began a search of Hakuhodo’s headquarters and other locations in connection with a bid-rigging case involving the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic test competitions. Reporter Takuto Todoroki: “Officials from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Investigation Department will search the house.” There are four companies, including Tokyu Agency. The four companies are suspected of having adjusted orders in advance to determine the successful bidder in a competitive bidding related to the planning of the test competition ordered by the organizing committee. The house search over this incident is the second day following last week’s Dentsu headquarters.
