Unification Church in Japan pledges ¥10 billion compensation fund for victims

The Unification Church is prepared to allocate up to ¥10 billion in funds for potential future damages claims from former followers and their families if its religious corporation status is revoked by the court. Concerns have arisen that the church may transfer its assets to South Korea or another group before the court order is issued, which could result in the liquidation and confiscation of those assets.
