Bankruptcy process at Aum ends

Bankruptcy procedures for Aum Shinrikyo effectively came to an end Nov. 26 following the disbursement of ¥1.54 billion in compensation to victims of the doomsday cult's 1995 nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway system and other crimes, a lawyer in charge of the process said.

The redress, however, is only about 40 percent of what the cult was supposed to pay, lawyer Saburo Abe said at the victims' final meeting in Tokyo.

New legislation aimed at compensating Aum's victims with taxpayer money is due to start in December. Each victim is eligible to receive up to ¥30 million, depending on the degree of suffering. (Kyodo News)
