| English summary | Between April 1, 2022, and July 6, 2024, Shinmei Denzai Corporation, a distributor of electrical equipment materials, allegedly sent annual requests from its CEO to suppliers who continuously supplied electrical equipment materials, under the pretext of a gratitude sale sponsorship. These requests compelled suppliers to provide monetary payments despite not gaining sales promotion benefits from such activities. Additionally, the company allegedly collected contributions labeled as cooperative association fees without clarifying the basis for calculating the amounts, again without providing benefits to the suppliers. This conduct is suspected to violate Article 19 of the Anti-Monopoly Act (abuse of a superior bargaining position). |
