TOKYO, July 26 (Reuters) - Tokyo prosecutors have searched
the home of ex-Tokyo 2020 Olympic board member Haruyuki
Takahashi in connection to suspected inappropriate payments made
to him by clothes retailer Aoki Holdings Inc 8214.T , Kyodo
reported on Tuesday.
The investigation is looking at whether payments of at least
45 million yen ($325,544) between 2017 and 2021 to a company run
by Takahashi violated a law that prohibits public servants from
taking money in relation to their positions. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2Z10UV
