The police have searched the Asakura City Hall and construction companies since the morning of the 15th, and are investigating the actual state of adhesions.
Yoshiteru Kamada (49), chief of the Asakura City Urban Planning Division, was in return for the convenience of increasing the construction cost in April last year over the disaster recovery work to remove the sediment and driftwood of the heavy rain in northern Kyushu. Shinji Yamaguchi, a director of the city's construction company "Kyushu Waterproofing" (49), was arrested for suspecting bribery on the 14th, as he received a bribe of 1 million yen in cash and travel expenses to South Korea.
The police have been searching for Asakura City Hall and construction companies since the morning of the 15th.
The construction was a voluntary contract and was carried out for about 127 million yen, but according to the police, Mr. Yamaguchi requested Chief Kamata to increase the construction area and increase the tens of millions of yen. ..
According to the investigation so far, Mr. Kamata and Director Yamaguchi have known each other about 10 years ago through business, but Mr. Kamada has received multiple overseas travel entertainment to Korea etc. Interviews with investigators revealed that the two seemed to have been going in and out of the local casino.
The police are investigating the actual situation of the adhesion because it seems that the bribery cash of 1 million yen was received in South Korea.
