East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.
Kanto Regional Head Office

NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Taito-ku, Tokyo, Regional Head Office length: Shinichi Ishikawa) is a former employee who was working in Mito management office of the tube is, today, and was arrested on suspicion of business on embezzlement in the Ibaraki Prefectural Police Mito Station I have been contacted, so let me know.

It was confirmed that there was no deposit for FY 2006 out of the "Nuclear Location Benefits" provided by the Power Supply Regional Promotion Center, so while conducting an internal survey, he worked at the same office. As a male employee who had been doing so, had offered the benefit of more than 4 million yen, he filed a damage report with the police on September 26.

We have refrained from publishing this matter until today, as we received a request during the consultation with the police that the impact on the investigation could be expected and we would like to refrain from publishing it.
The former employee is exempt from disciplinary action as of September 27.

We will immediately work to prevent recurrence and make even more efforts to prevent this kind of event from happening again.
