Dentsu Group President Hiroshi Igarashi has accepted corporate responsibility for a suspected rigging in bids for contracts related to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, media networks have reported.
Igarashi is said to have made the admissions during questioning by Tokyo officials.
Late last year, Hakuhodo, a Japanese advertising and PR company, admitted to rigging the bids.
The ad agency had allegedly informed Dentsu about the contracts it wanted to win and later they turned out to be the sole bidders for the same.
