In April of this year, there was an inquiry from the business operator, and it was discovered that the subsidy was returned from the business operator to the prefecture, and no damage was caused to the prefecture.

The staff member is in charge of the subsidy project alone, and the prefectural personnel department commented, “I am very sorry for the citizens of the prefecture. We will thoroughly implement measures to prevent recurrence, such as further strengthening the check system.”

The gender and affiliation of the staff, the content of the subsidized project, etc. are not disclosed as “there is a possibility that it may lead to the identification of the individual.”
