Tokyo prosecutors again indicted three men Tuesday over new allegations of bid-rigging for additional public works projects in their past posts at the Defense Facilities Administration Agency, investigative sources said.
The prosecutors also served summary indictments seeking the imposition of fines over the alleged bid-rigging on representatives from eight contractors that won the bids in question and a former agency official who was hired by a midsize contractor after retirement.
The three men, indicted earlier for alleged bid-rigging including that involving engineering construction projects at U.S. military bases in Yamaguchi and Nagasaki prefectures, were prosecuted for construction projects at the Defense Agency's Ichigaya complex in Tokyo, the sources said.
