Police sergeant arrested for taking bribes from massage parlor owner
A Tokyo police sergeant has been arrested for corruption after receiving a total of 670,000 yen in bribes from the owner of a Korean massage parlor in exchange for overlooking the sex business she ran there.
Takaki Hayashi, 46, and owner So Ka-jun, 43, both arrested for bribery, have admitted to the charges, according to police.
Hayashi was first consulted by So in June 2008. Hayashi, a member of Kanda Police Station’s Community Safety Division at the time, was tasked with monitoring establishments breaking the Entertainment Business Control Law. However, he agreed to overlook Highland, So’s massage parlor in Misakicho, Chiyoda Ward, in exchange for cash.
According to police, until his transfer to Chofu Police Station in June 2009, he received a total of 670,000 yen over 11 occasions.
