In the corruption case wherein House of Representatives member Mari Akimoto was arrested over an offshore wind energy era challenge, an trade group headed by an govt of the wind energy firm chargeable for the bribery responded to requests from Rep. Akimoto each time questions have been requested within the Diet. Interviews with the individuals concerned revealed that that they had conveyed their requests. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office’s Special Investigation Department seems to be conducting an in depth investigation into the connection between the trade group’s request, which displays the corporate’s intentions, and the Diet query.
