A total of more than 300 million yen received by 20 executives and others President Kanden acknowledged September 27 11:55
Kansai Electric Power's President Shigeki Iwane held a press conference on the morning of the 27th, and 20 senior executives and employees, including the chairman and president, received money from former assistants in Takahama-cho, Fukui, where Kansai Electric Power's nuclear power plant is located. It was revealed that the total amount is about 320 million yen. President Iwane then apologized, “I would like to apologize and deeply apologize for the people involved and society.”
Kansai Electric Power President Shigeki Iwane has been holding a press conference at the head office in Kita-ku, Osaka from 11:00 am on the 27th.
Among them, President Iwane revealed that 20 executives and employees, including the chairman and president, received a total of 320 million yen worth of money over the last seven years.
It was a former assistant in Takahama Town, Fukui Prefecture where Kansai Electric Power's nuclear power plant was delivered. President Iwane said about this former assistant, "I am a local prominent person who has been indebted to me. I offered to return the money, but was refused with a harsh attitude. I explained that these items were temporarily received.
The receipt of these items was pointed out in the tax examination of the Kanazawa National Tax Bureau, which means that part or all of them have already been returned and the income tax has been revised.
Mr. Iwane thanked Mr. Chen, “I am deeply sorry for the concerns and concerns of the people involved and society.”
The former assistant has already died, but according to the person concerned, a tax investigation revealed that he received a commission related to the order from a local construction company that undertakes construction related to the nuclear power plant, and handed a portion of this to the executive of Kanden about it.
In response to this issue, President Iwane stated that he had already repaid the company, including me, and that he had already disposed of the company, but he did not explain the details of the disposition.
There seems to be criticism for the unclear gold goods from the local assistants of local governments to executives of the electric power company that drives the nuclear power plant.
