TOKYO (Kyodo) -- An arrested former chancellor of Tokyo Women's Medical University was served a fresh arrest warrant Monday on suspicion of breach of trust concerning transactions over relocating a medical center, an investigative source said.

Kinuko Iwamoto, 78, who was arrested last month over a separate breach of trust allegation, is newly suspected of causing 170 million yen ($1.09 million) in damages to the university by making it pay excessive consulting fees to a 68-year-old male architect from March 2020 to September 2021, according to the source.

The Metropolitan Police Department suspects that about 50 million yen was channeled back to Iwamoto from the architect, who was involved in part of the relocation project, the source added.

Iwamoto is believed to have spent the money partly on brand-name goods, and the police have confiscated about 200 million yen in cash and bullion worth 200 million yen from locations linked to her.

On Jan. 13, the former chancellor was arrested on suspicion of making the university pay about 117 million yen to the same architect for fictitious consulting work between July 2018 and February 2020, with about 37 million yen passed back to her.

A third-party committee set up by the university concluded in its report last August that Iwamoto's dominant power within the school organization led to governance failures. She was dismissed as chancellor in the same month following the investigation.
