Tokyo courts says church caused ‘damages on an unprecedentedly large scale’
A Tokyo court ordered the dissolution of the Unification Church after investigations into Shinzo Abe's assassination revealed ties between Abe and the church, and accusations of coercive fundraising and manipulative tactics leading to financial ruin for some followers. The church, which plans to appeal, denounced the order as unfair, while the court's decision will end the church's tax-exempt status and force it to liquidate its assets in Japan.
