TOKYO (AP) — An executive at Japanese publishing house Kadokawa was found guilty Tuesday of bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member.
Toshiyuki Yoshihara, charged with paying 69 million yen ($463,000) to Haruyuki Takahashi, was given a two-year prison sentence, suspended for four years.
The punishment was suspended because Yoshihara had expressed remorse, and his wife had promised to watch over him, Nakao said.
At the center of the scandal is Takahashi, a former executive at advertising company Dentsu, who joined the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee in 2014, and had great influence in arranging sponsorships for the Games.
Maniwa, accused of depositing the money to Takahashi’s account, was given a suspended sentence in June.
