August 7, 2017
TOKYO- Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department arrested Yamanashi Mayor Seiki Mochizuki on Monday on suspicion of involvement in illicitly hiring a city employee.
The 70-year-old mayor of the central Japan city is suspected of falsifying official documents to help a specific individual pass the city's employment examinations, informed sources said.
Mochizuki admitted the accusation, the sources said.
Last month, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office indicted Mochizuki's 61-year-old former wife, Harumi, for swindling a man out of some 376 million yen in cash. Mochizuki denied any role in the fraud case. Jiji Press
