On the 25th, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office and other special investigation departments launched a search of the homes of Dentsu, the largest advertising company, in connection with suspicion of collusion over the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics test tournament business. Allegations of collusion uncovered in the course of an investigation into a corruption case led to a compulsory investigation of the largest advertising company, Dentsu. At around 10:00 a.m., the Dentsu head office was searched. On the 25th, the Special Investigation Department and the Japan Fair Trade Commission jointly launched a search of Dentsu’s home on suspicion of violating the Antimonopoly Act. They also searched the event production company “Celespo” in Toshima Ward and the home of a former executive of the organizing committee. According to people involved, Dentsu and Cerespo are suspected of collusion in multiple bids in 2018 related to competition test competitions. Regarding this bid, the advertising company ADK has already voluntarily declared a violation to the Fair Trade Commission. Dentsu was also searched in July this year as a party involved in a corruption case, but this time it is not a related party but a direct target of the investigation. Following the corruption cases in which the executives of the sponsor companies were filed one after another, a new collusion case was discovered. The Special Investigation Department and others are investigating the details of the bidding process.
