ビッグモーターの前副社長、損保ジャパンに在籍　前身の日本興亜損保に１年

　中古車販売大手ビッグモーター（東京）による保険金の不正請求問題を巡り、同社の前副社長で辞任した兼重宏一氏が損害保険ジャパンの前身企業に一時在籍していたことが２７日、分かった。関係者によると、２０１１年４月から１２年６月にかけて、損保ジャパンの前身企業の一つ「日本興亜損害保険」に在籍し、経理などを担当した。
　宏一氏は創業者の兼重宏行前社長の長男。一連の不正を受け、宏行氏と宏一氏は２６日付でそれぞれ社長と副社長を辞任した。
　宏一氏は日本興亜損保を退社後、ビッグモーターに入社。不正請求問題に関する外部弁護士による調査報告書では、２０年８月ごろから副社長である宏一氏らの判断で、工場長をはじめ板金塗装の従業員に対し、降格処分を頻繁に行っていたことが判明している。（2023/07/27-15:25）

A former deputy chief of scandal-hit major Japanese used car dealer Bigmotor Co. worked for Nipponkoa Insurance Co., a predecessor of Sompo Japan Insurance Inc., from April 2011 to June 2012, it was learned Thursday.
   The former deputy chief, Koichi Kaneshige, is the first son of Bigmotor founder Hiroyuki Kaneshige. On Wednesday, the father and son resigned as Bigmotor's chief and deputy chief, respectively, over the scandal involving fraudulent auto insurance claims.
   Koichi joined Bigmotor after leaving Nipponkoa, where he engaged in accounting and other tasks.
   According to an investigation report compiled by outside lawyers, a number of Bigmotor employees including a plant manager were demoted based on decisions made by Koichi, who has served as deputy company chief since around August 2020, and others.
   Sompo Japan has sent a total of 37 officials on loan to Bigmotor since 2011. The two companies have deepened their ties, with Sompo Japan introducing Bigmotor repair shops to policyholders in car accidents.
