"Ibaraki Ambassador" requests prefectures to refund subsidies 20:03 on February 7, METI
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry stated that the Ibaraki Prefectural Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Corporation had about 300 men, who were former “ambassadors to Ibaraki” promoting the appeal of Ibaraki Prefecture, who had trouble with multiple businesses in the prefecture. He revealed that he had asked for a refund because he had illegally received a 10,000 yen subsidy.
Ibaraki Prefecture commissioned a male food analyst in 2014 to the “Ibaraki Ambassador” to promote the appeal of the prefecture nationwide. I am firing my ambassador in January.
In connection with this, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry conducted a survey and found that the company applied for a subsidy to the government despite the trouble of the business contracted by the man through the Ibaraki Prefecture Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Corporation. Was found to be wrong.
For this reason, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has announced that it will cancel the decision on grants to Kommuninvest and demand that it return about 3 million yen.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has decided to investigate further, as Kommuninvest has received state subsidies for other projects.
