Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Morimatsu Industries Co., Ltd., through its former Western Japan Waterworks Sales General Manager (a government-designated employee at the time) and two former employees of the Kansai Waterworks Sales Department Osaka Branch, conspired to bribe a former official of Akō City, Hyogo Prefecture. The bribes aimed to obtain favorable treatment, such as replacing specifications of water tank installations with the company's products in the bidding process for the Mikazaki Reservoir Development Project (bidding conducted on June 26, 2020) and the Kitano Naka Water Purification Plant Phase 1 Tank Replacement Project (expected to be ordered in 2021). As a result, on June 28, 2021, the Kobe District Court sentenced the involved employees to one year in prison, with a three-year probation, for violating Article 198 of the Penal Code (bribery), and the sentences were finalized. This conduct was deemed to violate Article 28, Paragraph 1, Items 2 and 3 of the Construction Business Act. The enforcement action was taken by the Chubu Regional Development Bureau, and the company was ordered to cease operations for 120 days from January 21, 2022, to May 20, 2022, within the waterworks construction sector in specified prefectures.
