「電通多い」元次長が一覧表修正　上司指摘、一部元請けから外す―組織委内で共有か・五輪談合

　東京五輪・パラリンピックの会場運営業務を巡る談合事件で、大会組織委員会大会運営局の元次長、森泰夫容疑者（５５）＝独禁法違反容疑で逮捕＝が２０１８年春ごろ、競技会場ごとに元請けの受託予定企業を割り振った一覧表を上司に示したところ、「電通が多すぎる」との指摘を受け、同社を一部会場の元請けから外すなど修正していたことが１１日、関係者への取材で分かった。
　テスト大会の計画立案業務の発注方法が競争入札に正式決定する前とみられるが、組織委の担当部署で一覧表が共有されていた実態が浮かび上がった。東京地検特捜部や公正取引委員会もこうした事実を把握しているとみられ、受注調整に関与した元職員らから事情を聴いている。（2023/02/11-14:13）

A former Tokyo Games organizing committee official arrested in a high-profile bid-rigging case was found to have modified a list of companies planned to be named venue-by-venue prime contractors as advertising giant Dentsu Inc.'s excessive dominance in the list was pointed out, it was learned Saturday.
   Yasuo Mori, 55, former deputy chief of the organizing committee's operations department, removed Dentsu as possible prime contractors for some venues after the then superior told him around spring 2018 that Dentsu was named "too often" in the list, according to sources familiar with the matter.
   It came to light that such a list was shared among officials of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics organizing committee before the body decided to conduct competitive bidding for the planning of Tokyo Games test events.
   The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's special squad and the Fair Trade Commission are believed to be aware of such a situation and are hearing from former committee staff who were involved in order adjustment work.
   According to the sources, Dentsu started listing companies with track records for each sport as possible winners of contracts for each venue in 2017 and the list was sent to the organizing committee's operations department by email around January 2018.
