Lawmakers visited the building site Tuesday morning of a condominium complex that was designed using quake-resistance data fabricated by Chiba-based architect Hidetsugu Aneha as part of their investigation into the shoddy construction fraud.
Liberal Democratic Party member Motoo Hayashi, who heads the House of Representatives Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, and other committee members inspected the uncompleted complex in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, accompanied by officials from the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry and the Funabashi Municipal Government.
The structure is one of 21 buildings the infrastructure ministry said earlier this month used falsified data from Aneha. Of the 21, 14 have been completed.
