藤井前内閣審議官が辞職　無許可で兼業、停職１２カ月―経産省

　経済産業省は９日、内閣官房の経済安全保障法制準備室長を事実上更迭された藤井敏彦・前国家安全保障局担当内閣審議官＝現経産省官房付＝を、停職１２カ月の懲戒処分にすると発表した。藤井氏は同日付で辞職した。無許可で民間企業の講師を務めたり講演を行ったりして報酬を得ていたほか、タクシー券の不正利用など、処分に該当する事実が複数判明したという。
　退職金約４０００万円については、本人の申し出により停職期間分の給与などに相当する約３４００万円を減額。小林鷹之経済安全保障担当相は同日の参院予算委員会で「行政の公平性、中立性について国民の皆さまの疑念を生じさせるなど極めて不適切だ」と述べた。（2022/03/09-18:08）

Toshihiko Fujii, former head of Japan's preparations for economic security legislation, has resigned over a series of misconduct, the economy ministry said Wednesday.
   Fujii, who was removed from the post of councillor at the Cabinet Secretariat in charge of national security to the economy minister's secretariat after being effectively sacked as chief of the preparatory office for the new law, tendered resignation following the ministry's punishment for his unreported side jobs including paid speeches and illicit use of blank taxi receipts, among others, the ministry said, adding the resignation was approved.
    Due to the multiple irregularities, Fujii was suspended for 12 months.
    The ministry also said 34 million yen will be reduced from his retirement allowance.
