TOKYO, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Several Japanese government
ministries said on Wednesday that advertising giant Dentsu Inc
and two other companies will be unable to take part in bidding
for nine months, in the fallout of a corruption scandal during
the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The industry ministry, foreign affairs ministry and
education ministry all said in filings on their websites that
the companies would be barred from participation in project
bidding for nine months from Wednesday.
