The Tokyo District Court ordered the Unification Church on Tuesday to pay about 280 million yen in damages to a woman who said she was swindled of a large amount of money under the religious group’s fraudulent sales campaign.
Judge Masazumi Hashimoto ruled that the church, founded in South Korea, illegally made the plaintiff feel insecure and frightened her and forced her to donate money and purchase expensive goods. The church threatened the plaintiff by saying her “family line will fail” or she would “fall into hell,” the judge said, declaring such acts illegal.
