A document recognizing the responsibility for management and supervision when former chairman Kei Kagawa resigned in November last year due to the problem that the "All Japan Private Kindergarten Federation" revealed at least 300 million yen of unclear money. Immediately after signing, it was newly found by interviewing the people concerned that 150 million yen had been deposited in the account of the federation.
In response to NHK's interview, former chairman Kagawa acknowledged the fact of the deposit and said, "I have not diverted my personal funds at all, and I hope that I will return it when the whole picture is clarified." I will.
Regarding the "All Japan Private Kindergarten Federation", which has about 7,500 private kindergartens nationwide, it is clear that more than 320 million yen has been unclear in at least the three years from 2017 to the first year of Reiwa. It is also known that former chairman Kei Kagawa and others were involved in forging the passbooks of multiple bank accounts that significantly inflated the actual balance.
Former Chairman Kagawa resigned as Chairman on November 27, last year when he was pointed out that there was an unclear amount of money, but at that time he had signed a document acknowledging his responsibility for management and supervision.
Then, the federation asked us to repay the funds that had become unclear, and three days later, on November 30, we interviewed the people concerned that they had deposited 150 million yen into the account designated by the federation. I found out anew.
In response to NHK's interview, former chairman Kagawa acknowledged the fact of the deposit and said, "The federation asked me to deposit the operating funds for the time being, and I transferred the funds borrowed from the bank with my home as collateral. I don't divert any personal funds, I just pay the money necessary for the operation temporarily, and I want you to return it when the whole picture is clarified. "
According to people familiar with the matter, the Kindergarten Federation will report the results of the internal investigation at a meeting of executives of kindergarten organizations from all over the country on the 9th.
