In a tax evasion case in which Hidetoshi Tanaka, the president of Nihon University, was arrested for hiding his income of 100 million yen, the funds illegally leaked from the university were transferred to the company of the former president of a medical corporation in Osaka. Immediately afterwards, it was found in an interview with the people concerned that there was a suspicion that President Tanaka was provided with 30 million yen in cash.



The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office is believed to be proceeding with the investigation on the suspicion that part of the funds leaked from the university was passed on to President Tanaka as a rebate.


In response to the investigation by the Special Investigation Department, President Tanaka has denied the charges.

Hidetoshi Tanaka (74), the president of Nihon University, received a rebate from Masami Himoto (61), the former president of a medical corporation in Osaka City, who was charged with a back-office case involving a university hospital. He was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office on the 29th on suspicion of tax evasion of 53 million yen in 2018 and last year, and the total amount of income hidden is 120 million yen.



In the case of a resignation, it is known that 220 million yen was remitted to the former president's paper company, Mr. Himoto, in the name of an unrealistic consultant fee in August last year from a contractor who received an order for the reconstruction work of the attached hospital. ..



According to the people concerned, two days later, it was newly discovered that President Tanaka was suspected of being offered 30 million yen in cash in a paper bag by former President Himoto at a yakiniku restaurant in Tokyo.



Former President Himoto stated that he provided 30 million yen in cash at a restaurant in Tokyo as a celebration of the reappointment of the president two months later, but both presidents have income. It means that it has not been declared as.



It is believed that the Special Investigation Department is proceeding with the investigation on the suspicion that part of the funds that flowed out of the university was passed on to President Tanaka as a rebate.



According to the people concerned, President Tanaka has denied the transfer of cash to the investigation by the Special Investigation Department.
