The case against holding company Dentsu has moved into a new phase more than 18 months after an employee attributed her own suicide to a companywide culture of overwork.
According to reports in The Japan Times and The Asahi Shimbun, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors office announced Friday that it would seek a summary indictment against Dentsu Inc. for suspected labor violations stemming from the death of 24-year-old Matsui Takahashi, who killed herself in December 2015 after claiming on social media that she had worked more than 100 hours of overtime in a single month.
