Investigators suspected that the chief arrested in a corruption case involving a contract for goods at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Tokyo had received 1 million yen in cash from a trader just before he was assigned to his current workplace. I found out in the interview.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that the contractor knew in advance that the chief would be in charge of the contract work.
Shoichiro Kasai, 39, the chief of the General Affairs Division of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of bribery in return for the convenience of contracting goods such as personal computers and desks. He was arrested on suspicion of bribery for receiving cash and receiving travel entertainment from Takayuki Matsumaru (43), the president of the product sales company Komatsu Denki.
The chief of staff was transferred from another hospital to his current workplace three years ago in April 2019, but in late March just before that, it was suspected that he had received 1 million yen in cash from the president. I found out in the interview.
The contractor also helped with the moving work.
At this time, it was decided that the chief of staff would be in charge of contract affairs at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the details, assuming that the contractor knew about it in advance.
The approval or disapproval of the two is not disclosed.
