Olympic corruption case KADOKAWA former managing director and others newly arrested Former director Takahashi re-arrested

A new route for bribery emerged in the corruption scandal surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has re-arrested a former director of the organizing committee for receiving bribes from major publishing company KADOKAWA. After the war, “KADOKAWA” was created with the aim of rebuilding Japanese culture through publication. KADOKAWA Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa “I’m like that, my heart is low, I haven’t run a business for 50 years. Let’s not do it together. (Q. Have you ever given a bribe?) Not at all. Not at all. No.” Yesterday, Chairman Tsuguhiko Kadokawa (79) denied the allegations, but today, the Special Investigation Department launched a search of the head office and Chairman Kadokawa’s house. In the process of selecting sponsors, former executive director of “KADOKAWA” Yoshiyuki Yoshihara (64) and former director of charge Kyoji Maniwa are accused of asking for convenience and sending bribes to Haruyuki Takahashi, former director of the organizing committee. (63) was arrested. Maniwa previously served as the editor-in-chief of the town information magazine “Kansai Walker” and responded to interviews. Former editor-in-chief of Kansai Walker Kyoji Maniwa: “The thing that immediately comes to mind is the idea of wearing skates and spinning around.” It is the presence of Kazumasa Fukami (73). Fukami was not involved in the “AOKI” route, which the Special Investigation Department first started and Hironori Aoki and others were indicted today for bribery. On the other hand, in this “KADOKAWA” route, approximately 76 million yen is said to have been paid to Fukami’s company, not directly to Takahashi. Before his arrest, Takahashi explained to JNN: Haruyuki Takahashi said, “There is no exchange of money with sponsors other than AOKI.” How far will the suspicion spread? ▼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
