Haruyuki Takahashi, 78, a former executive board member of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee who was arrested last month on suspicion of receiving bribes from one Games sponsor, Aoki Holdings, Inc., was rearrested on Tuesday on suspicion of receiving a total of about 76 million yen in bribes from another sponsor, major publishing company Kadokawa Corp.
The special investigation squad of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office served the new arrest warrant on Takahashi on suspicion of bribery in return for job-related favors.
