charged in a bribery scandal involving organizers of the Tokyo Olympics was found guilty in court on Tuesday, but will not serve time in jail.
Joji Matsui, the former head of Amuse consulting company, was convicted in Tokyo District Court in the first verdict for someone who received bribes from companies seeking sponsorships and licensing for the 2020 Olympic Games.
One of several Japanese officials charged in a bribery scandal involving organizers of the Tokyo Olympics was found guilty in court on Tuesday, but will not serve time in jail. Yasunaga said the bribes of about 27 million yen, or $186,000, were significant and that "the damage to public trust has been great."
Acknowledging guilt during the trial, Matsui's defense team argued that he was simply following orders from Takahashi. This, along with him appearing remorseful, contributed to the court's decision to give him a suspended sentence instead of prison time, the Associated Press reported.
