The Tokyo District Court on Tuesday ordered the dissolution of the Unification Church, the influential cult linked to the 2022 assassination of former prime minister Abe Shinzo. The post Japanese Court Orders End of Controversial Unification Church appeared first on Breitbart.
The Tokyo District Court ordered the dissolution of the Unification Church due to financial irregularities and aggressive solicitation of donations. This followed the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, whose killer cited the church's financial ruin of his family and Abe's ties to the organization. The church, founded by Sun Myung Moon, has been accused of cult-like practices and manipulating followers. A government investigation revealed extensive connections between the church and Japan's ruling LDP party. The Education Ministry presented evidence of significant financial damages to victims, leading to the court's decision to revoke the church's tax-exempt status if the appeal fails.
