TOKYO (Jiji Press)—Former Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics organizing committee executive Haruyuki Takahashi, who is on trial for allegedly receiving bribes over the sporting events, which took place in 2021, was released on bail on Monday.
Takahashi, 78, was released from the Tokyo Detention House after about four months in detention after posting ¥80 million in bond.
