It was revealed on the 14th that a plea bargain had been reached in a series of cases surrounding the construction of a new Kiryu City Hall building, reducing criminal penalties in exchange for cooperation with the investigation. According to sources, a contractor other than the winning bidder apparently confessed to the involvement of suspect Aizawa, 49, a prefectural assembly member representing Kiryu City's ward, and others, in exchange for charges not being filed.

This is believed to be the sixth such plea bargain in Japan.
