The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor’s Office and others have newly launched a search of the headquarters building of advertising giant ADK Holdings in connection with the bid-rigging case surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The Special Investigation Department and the Fair Trade Commission conducted new house searches at a building in Minato-ku, Tokyo, where “ADK Holdings” and others are located, and “Dentsu Live”, a group company of “Dentsu”. According to the people concerned, there is a suspicion that the bidding schedule for each venue was decided in advance, as orders were adjusted for bidding related to the planning of the test competition. In 26 competitive bids related to the test competition, 9 companies and 1 consortium won the bid, and the special investigation department etc. are searching the houses of 6 companies such as “Dentsu” and “Hakuhodo” by the 28th. The “ADK” side voluntarily reported violations to the Fair Trade Commission using a system that exempted or exempted surcharges.
