In the corruption case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, it was found that the advertising giant “Daihiro” also provided funding to a company run by an acquaintance of a former director of the organizing committee, and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office launched a compulsory investigation today. embarked. On the other hand, the chairman of major publishing company KADOKAWA, which also provided funding, suddenly responded to the interview. KADOKAWA Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa “I feel really unexpected. When asked about the suspicion of Haruyuki Takahashi (78), the former director of the organizing committee of the tournament, who was arrested, he strengthened his voice. KADOKAWA Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa “I’ve never run a business for 50 years because of that kind of heart. It is a consulting contract that paid about 70 million yen to Takahashi is believed to have mediated KADOKAWA’s sponsorship contract with the Organizing Committee. KADOKAWA Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa “(Q. Are you aware that Takahashi has not received any money?) I don’t think he has. (Q. Are you aware of any bribes?) There is absolutely nothing.” Takahashi was arrested by the special investigation department on suspicion of receiving a bribe of about 51 million yen from. After that, mysterious money flows surrounding Takahashi were revealed one after another, but today another suspicion reached a critical stage. That is the “Ohiro” route. The Kansai-based advertising company “Ohiro” has also provided funding to a consulting firm run by an acquaintance of Takahashi, and the special investigation unit launched a search today. According to people involved, the sponsorship of the tournament was originally handled by Dentsu, the largest advertising company, as an exclusive agency. Ohiro, a middle-ranking company in the industry, asked Takahashi, a former managing director of Dentsu, to be involved in this work, and it seems that Takahashi actually approached Dentsu. Ohiro had become a “sales partner agent” who was responsible for a part of the business. Mr. Ninomiya, a sports journalist, points out that behind the series of suspicions is the power relationship in the advertising industry. Sports journalist Kiyozumi Ninomiya: “This time, Dentsu was selected as the exclusive marketing agency. Unfortunately, the other agencies were not selected, but as a remedy, we created a mechanism to re-entrust the sales to a cooperating agency. Other agencies. As an agency, I think that kind of psychology worked as I wanted to be flocked to the sweet honey.” The special investigation department has voluntarily questioned Ohiro’s executives multiple times, and it is believed that the flow of funds is investigating whether it is a bribe. A series of suspicions that cast a damper on the bidding activities for the winter Olympics in Sapporo. Sports journalist Kiyozumi Ninomiya: “Who created this ‘money tree’? That’s the IOC itself. Excessive commercialism, the IOC is responsible for creating it. A lot. If you need to reflect, I think you need to verify it yourself.” ▼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
