Taille de police
日本郵便で新たな疑惑が浮上した。郵便物を集める委託業務の入札がゆがめられ、中堅社員（当時）らが業者から見返りを得ていたとされるものだ。郵便料金の再値上げや多額の公的支援も検討されるなか、ガバナンスの弱さが改めて浮き彫りになっている。
日本郵便では今年だけで、顧客の貯金を着服するなどの不正事案が10件超も発覚した。とりわけ局長や課長といった管理職による多額の犯罪がめだつ。
大阪では郵便局長がかんぽ生命保険への出向時に顧客の口座から1300万円を窃取したとされる。川崎市では郵便局長らが貯金のデータを改ざんして700万円を詐取していたという。
Questions ouvertes
- What is the full extent of the bid rigging and bribery scheme?
- How many employees were involved?
- What specific contractors were involved?
- What measures will Japan Post take to prevent future misconduct?
