Reply to comment by Clobber420 in Japanese company 'betrayed public trust' with Olympics bribe. by PrincessBananas85

There was an investigation into the Tokyo 2020 organising committee board (notably separate from the IOC) likely due to the closeness of certain members with the ad agencies.

A lot of this corruption stems through Takahashi. Bids were "open" but were effectively handed to preferred agencies, with nearly half the test events having one bidder in each category. Believe it was 26 of the 56 or something.

A company I worked for at the two previous Olympics has been providing services at the Olympics since at least the mid-2000s. They couldn’t even get a foot in for a chance at bidding these for their services.
