東京女子医大の元理事長逮捕　１．１億円超不正支出、背任容疑―絶大権限で私的流用か・警視庁

　東京女子医大（東京都新宿区）の新校舎建設工事を巡り、アドバイザー報酬名目で計約１億１７００万円を不正に支出したとして、警視庁捜査２課は１３日、背任容疑で、同大元理事長の岩本絹子容疑者（７８）＝江戸川区東葛西＝を逮捕した。認否は明らかにしていない。
　支出した金は大学内で絶大な権限を持っていた岩本容疑者の主導で還流され、私的に流用された疑いがあり、同課はほかにも不正な支出があるとみて資金の流れを本格解明する。
　逮捕容疑は２０１８年７月～２０年２月、同大の新校舎建設工事の建築アドバイザー業務報酬などとして、２１回にわたり、１級建築士の６０代の男に計約１億１７００万円を不正に支出させ、同大に損害を与えた疑い。
　同課は男が同工事に関わった実態はないと判断した。（2025/01/13-17:10）

Japanese police arrested Kinuko Iwamoto, former chancellor of Tokyo Women's Medical University, on Monday on suspicion of breach of trust involving fictitious payments of construction consulting fees by the university, people familiar with the investigation said.
   Iwamoto, 78, is suspected of having the university illegally pay about 120 million yen in consulting fees to an architect between July 2018 and February 2020 over the construction of a new school building, the people said.
   Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department concluded that there was no justifiable ground for calculating the amount of fees, suspecting that the money spent was funneled back to Iwamoto and used for personal purposes, according to the people.
   The architect started working as a construction consultant to the university in April 2016 and initially received between 40,000 yen and 50,000 yen per day, according to people familiar with the matter and a third-party committee.
   In February 2018, Iwamoto, then vice chancellor, proposed raising the fees. The univesity's board approved the proposal without any specific discussion. The university paid about 309.3 million yen to the architect for about three and a half years until February 2022.
