A former director of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee is said to have received money from AOKI, and it turned out that he used about 100 million yen to repay the debt of his steak restaurant. A lot of money that was said to be “used for the Olympics” was used for a “steak shop”… An incident in which former director Takahashi (78) of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee received a large amount of money from “AOKI Holdings”. It was newly found that the former director used “ part of the money ” to repay the “ debt ” that occurred at the “ steak restaurant ” that he ran. According to officials, this money was originally paid by AOKI to Dentsu’s subsidiary as an “Olympic enhancement fee.” The amount is 250 million yen. Of that amount, 230 million yen is said to have gone to former director Takahashi’s company. Of this amount, tens of millions of yen was sent to the Japan Equestrian Federation and the Japan Sailing Federation as sponsorship money, and it is believed that about 150 million yen was left for former director Takahashi. Of this, “about 100 million yen” is believed to have been used to repay the steak restaurant. This steak restaurant is located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and is a high-class restaurant that has been used by former Prime Minister Suga and important figures in the political and business world. Is it okay to use the “Olympic strengthening costs” to pay back there? Former Director Takahashi is said to have explained the money received from “a subsidiary of Dentsu” as follows. Former Director Takahashi (voluntary hearing by Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office): “230 million yen was unpaid consulting fees in the past.” Former chairman Aoki (voluntarily interviewed by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office): “I was told that the money would be donated to two sports associations.” In the first place, why did the “enhancement fee” go from a Dentsu subsidiary to the former director’s company? I don’t know the details about this yet, but former director Takahashi originally worked at Dentsu, and after working as general manager of the sports business department, he became a senior managing director. Did he still have influence over Dentsu and Dentsu’s subsidiaries? Former chairman Aoki is said to have told a voluntary hearing, “I had high hopes for the strength of former director Takahashi as a person.” The special investigation department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is expected to aim to fully clarify the flow of funds.
