The prefectural staff who did not return to Takahamamachi's former assistant and received the money was November 23, Fukui Prefecture 4:46

According to the investigation by the investigation committee, 109 employees including Fukui Prefecture and former executives received money from former assistants in Takahama-cho, Fukui Prefecture. It became clear.

In response to a problem in which Kansai Electric's management executives received over 300 million yen in gold from former Eiji Moriyama assistants in Takahama Town, the Fukui Research Committee conducted a survey. It is known that 109 people received some kind of money from the former assistants as a celebration of their appointment or separation.

Of these, 21 were judged to have received cash or gift certificates exceeding the scope of the ritual, and the total amount was worth 1.2 million yen.

The majority of the staff who received them returned the same level of goods, but it was revealed by the investigation committee that 7 out of 21 did not return and received them as they were.

These former executives responded to the survey saying, “I thought I couldn't return because of the character of the former assistant”, “I thought I couldn't accept it even if I returned it”.

On the other hand, the investigative committee said, “If you receive cash or a gift certificate of ¥ 100,000, even if you return the appropriate return goods, it is not recognized that it is equivalent to social conventions” In addition, he points out that “prefecture officials need to report when they receive more than a certain amount of money, or set up a consultation desk”.
