EHomes Inc. President Togo Fujita on Tuesday told a Diet committee that Japan ERI Co., which certified construction applications with faked quake-resistance data by architect Hidetsugu Aneha, was involved in hiding the falsifications after discovering them about a year ago.

During the session of the Lower House Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, developers embroiled in the high-profile construction scam denied conspiring with Aneha to fake earthquake safety data on apartment complexes and hotels nationwide.

Fujita's remarks came when he was asked how eHomes had spotted the fraudulent information.
