In a corruption case in which a member of the House of Representatives Akimoto was arrested over an IR / integrated resort facility, the top management of a bribery Chinese company frequently met with Akimoto from May and said, "In a major city's IR, a major casino business I hope that people will enter, so I'd like to aim for the local area. " The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Investigation Division is conducting investigations assuming that Chinese companies have begun full-scale activities toward IR entry from this time.
Mr. Akimoto (48), a member of the lower house of the Diet, who was the deputy minister of the Cabinet Office in charge of IR, etc., sent a Chinese company "500 dot com" who was aiming to enter IR with a cash of 3 million yen in September. Suspicion of bribery is suspected as having received a bribe.
According to stakeholders, a Chinese company hosted a symposium in Naha City in August and requested a keynote speech from Representative Akimoto. It was newly found that I had met with Representative Akimoto.
Three months later, a Chinese company requested that Mr. Akimoto say, "I'm thinking that a major casino operator will enter the IR of a big city, so I'd like to aim for a local IR." Said that he deepened his friendship at the symposium, and then repeatedly told Akimoto his request for IR participation.
A Chinese company had contacted Akimoto, one of the members promoting IR, through a former adviser, Katsunori Nakazato (47), who had met a former policy secretary of Akimoto.
Although this Chinese company worked on sports betting on the Internet, etc., it had no track record of operating casino facilities and was behind the leading casino operators in the fight for Japanese IR. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Special Investigation Department is investigating details.
According to lawyers, Akimoto has completely denied the charges.
