Dentsu, others indicted over Tokyo Olympics bid rigging

Why is this suddenly a big deal? Bid rigging is commonplace in Japanese business.

 Yasuo Mori, former operations executive on the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee.

Got the wrong Mori here I bet! But seeing as Yoshiro was a former PM and seems demented all the time, I guess he gets a pass!

Why is this suddenly a big deal? Bid rigging is commonplace in Japanese business.

Because there is a company that supposed untouchable during previous administration.

So will we still have the Winter Olympics?

When is Mori getting arrested?

I'd rather have seen a photo of the culprits, not the corporate sign.

A ¥10,000 fine and suspended sentences all around, I bet.

So, if Hashimoto feels great responsibility is he going to share the indictments?

When are they going to indict the rigging ring leader Bach ? He had to sign off on this .!.

I have it on good authority that Mr Bach is furious with what’s happened in Japan. Blackening the games name to make money is unforgivable and the criminals need max penalties as a deterrent

Mr. Bach is furious they got caught .!.

this is troublesome that it become public news. i think it is best however that we move on from this olympics news into more important matters.

Appropriate penalty should be somewhere north of 43.7 billion yen?

But, such problematic corporation still continue collusion with LDP regime and continue to have immense influence to major TV channels as ever.

Present LDP politics only benefit giant corporations with victimizing even life or safe of general citizen.
