Oita Teacher Recruitment Examination Corruption Ordering compensation from a prefectural board of directors July 14 17:54
The Supreme Court is a lawsuit in which a citizen group sued that ex-executives of the prefectural board of education should bear the compensation for those who were rejected over the corruption case of the teacher recruitment examination in Oita prefecture. The ruling was finalized by ordering a former executive to pay more than 26.8 million yen.
After the corruption case over the teacher recruitment test that was discovered in 2008, Oita Prefecture compensated over 90 million yen to those who were rejected due to scoring changes, and some of the parties involved in the case, such as former executives, After being reimbursed, Oita City's citizens group urged the prefecture that all the rest should be borne by the parties.
The Fukuoka High Court ordered a former executive of the Board of Education, who was found guilty of bribery, to pay more than 9,550,000 yen, and the Supreme Court went bankrupt and paid debt with two other senior executives who could not pay. There was a dispute over whether the split was appropriate.
In a ruling on the 14th, the Supreme Court's third small court judge, Keiichi Hayashi, said, ``If the government or local government compensates for damages that two or more government officials have jointly and illegally caused to others, We have a debt that we have to jointly repay."
After that, the Fukuoka High Court canceled the judgment that it was not appropriate to calculate the debt by dividing it, and ordered the former executive to pay more than 26.8 million yen, and the judgment was confirmed.
Seto Lawyer "Minimum Winning Case"
After the ruling, at a conference held in Tokyo Kasumigaseki, Hisao Seto, an agent of the citizens' group, said, ``The primary purpose of the trial was to reveal all the injustices such as cleverness and score manipulation, but it was realized. I haven't done so, so I'm not happy with the decision, but I think it's a minimum win if the amount to be paid to the former executives was settled at about 26 million yen."
