Japan regulators raid Dentsu in overwork destruction case
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese authorities raided the country’s top advertising and marketing organization Dentsu on Monday as they launched a criminal investigation into the suicide of a 24-year-old employee due to overwork on mistrust of systematic illegal overtime at the company.
Monday’s research follows the government’s identity in late September that Matsuri Takahashi died of “karoshi,” or death from overwork.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said researchers from the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry raided Dentsu Inc.’s Tokyo headquarters and three branch offices on suspicion the company broke the law by forcing Takahashi to engage in chronic overwork.
