The liquidator of the Unification Church, a controversial religious group that has been?ordered to disband, on Wednesday began accepting claims from victims who were forced to make large donations to the group.
The claims of losses will be accepted online or in writing by post for a year until May 20 next year. Eligible claimants include followers and former followers of the group, formally called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, their family members, such as children, and heirs of deceased followers.
The liquidator will verify whether the claimants made large donations or purchases of goods sold by the Unification Church by checking bank books, receipts, audio recordings and other submitted material.
