Prosecutors arrested a former operations executive with the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee and three others on Wednesday over bid-rigging allegations, as a result of a corruption scandal that has emerged in the wake of the global sports event.
The former executive, Yasuo Mori, was arrested on suspicion that he played a leading role in rigging bids for contracts related to Games test events in violation of the anti-monopoly law.
They also arrested Koji Hemmi, a former executive with Dentsu, and Yoshiji Kamata and Masahiko Fujino from Cerespo and Fuji Creative, both firms that won contracts to plan test events.
