the team, comprised of some 200 investigators recruited from police departments nationwide,
the scope of the investigation by the new team is "limited" and it will focus on looking into the background of a case,

Yes @virusrex 8:21am, Yoshitaka Sakurada resigned in 2018 as Abe’s TOP appointee for the position after he was confused about by a question of USB ports on computers at Japan’s nuclear facilities. He later resigned as Japan’s chief of the Olympics in 2019.
However, we have to consider his “non-policies” are still well in-effect within both organizations.
