OSAKA -- A former Defense Facilities Administration Agency official under arrest for fraud was served a fresh warrant Monday on suspicion he accepted 2 million yen in bribes from an oil sales company to help the firm start business with the Defense Agency, prosecution officials said.
It was the third warrant issued on Tatsuro Kitamura, 43, who was dismissed from the agency on Wednesday, according to officials of the Osaka District Public Prosecutor's Office.
He was initially arrested in January and served a second warrant last month, both over alleged fraud involving contracts with the Defense Agency.
