A large amount of cash for the former director of the organization committee Contracted with Tokyo Olympics sponsor men’s clothing giant “AOKI” before the Games

It turns out that former director Osamu Takahashi of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee has signed a consulting contract with AOKI, a major men’s clothing company, and received a large amount of cash. According to people familiar with the matter, former director of the Games Organizing Committee, Osamu Takahashi, signed a consulting contract between the consulting company he represents and the event sponsor “AOKI Holdings” before the Games, until 2021 when the Games end. He said he had received cash. The directors of the Organizing Committee are “deemed civil servants,” and the receipt of money from interested parties may conflict with bribery charges. Former Director Takahashi admitted that he had signed a contract, and commented that he “has never taken advantage of the organizing committee’s business as a director.” FNN Prime Online https://www.fnn.jp/
