Osaka Government Officials Delete Casino Resort Emails

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — It has been revealed that officials of Osaka City deleted official emails regarding the planned casino resort after they had received information disclosure requests.

The content of the emails regarded the real estate appraisal for the casino resort, which is to be located on the manmade Yumeshima island in Osaka Bay.

Rather than respond appropriately to the information disclosure request, the officials instead deleted the emails from the network server and then claimed that they did not exist. This false response was provided even to the Osaka City Council.

A subsequent investigation, however, discovered that the emails and their attachments had been saved in a separate location.

The city has taken disciplinary action–a one-month pay cut–against two managers, and delivered reprimands to two others.

At a press conference, a city spokesperson stated that “although we couldn’t confirm that there was an intentional attempt to hide them, it did damage our credibility.”
