The president of Japan Wind Development, reversing his earlier denial, is now expected to admit bribing lawmaker Masatoshi Akimoto, a lawyer for the company chief has said.
Akimoto, 48, a member of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Japan's parliament, allegedly received a total of about ¥30 million from Masayuki Tsukawaki, the 64-year-old president of Japan Wind Development, on more than 20 occasions between 2021 and this year, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The special squad of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is investigating details regarding the money.
