As a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has falsely applied for the cooperation money paid to restaurants that have shortened business hours, etc., to meet the payment requirements, and has received approximately 59 million yen. It was announced that the yen was illegally received.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's announcement, the person who illegally received the cooperation money that the metropolitan government paid to restaurants to shorten business hours as a measure against the new corona was a man in his 40s who runs a store in Sumida Ward. The amount is about 59 million yen from the year before last to October last year.
It is said that this manager repeatedly applied for a take-out store with no seats that was not eligible for the payment of cooperation money, pretending that there was a seat, and received cooperation money.
When the city confirmed in detail during the examination, it means that it admitted fraud last month.
The city will request the return of the cooperation fee and will charge the same amount of penalty.
