Shigeaki Katsunuma, a former member of the Diet who was invited to travel to Macau by a Chinese company on the bribery side, appeared as a witness in a trial in which a member of the House of Representatives Akimoto was charged with bribery. But he said,'Don't worry about it.' "

Tsukasa Akimoto, a 49-year-old member of the House of Representatives, has been acquitted of bribery and other charges for receiving bribes from former advisers of Chinese companies over the business of IR and integrated resort facilities.

A former member of the House of Representatives, Shigeaki Katsunuma, appeared as a witness in the trial on the 7th. "It's impossible to do it," he said, but he said, "I'll have the cost here. Don't worry about it."



Also, looking at the situation on the side of Chinese companies and the fact that private jets were prepared for round trips to and from Macau, "Private jets cost a lot of money, so I wondered if Chinese companies would have them. Therefore, I think the aim was to have Representative Akimoto provide convenience. "



After the trial on the 7th, the lawyer requested bail for Senator Akimoto.
