Following Dentsu, the largest company, the advertising and event industries are being investigated one after another. The Special Investigation Department and the Fair Trade Commission began searching after 10:00 am at the advertising companies “Hakuhodo” and “Tokyu Agency”. In addition, “Fuji Creative Corporation” and event production company “Same Two”, which is a production company for TV programs and also handles events, are also being searched.
