Section B
In examining PA‟s donation of 30,000,000 yen, according to the previously verified facts (as
stated in Part I, Section A, Articles 1 through 3), the following statements are recognized:
Up until the time of PA‟s 30,000,000-yen donation, PA had been shown by UCX and
Nagayoshi et al. videos concerning the principles of the UC and the spiritual world, and (PA)
had also been made to listen to explanations concerning the karma of her ancestors.
Pursuant to these events, PA was made to donate the sums of 5,000,000 yen and
7,000,000 yen. On these occasions, an overall situation had been created in which PA was
made to think that there might actually be truth to the narratives concerning karma and the
idea that her deceased husband was suffering in the spiritual world. Manipulating this
situation, UC members Endo et al. devised educational programs for PA with a view to
procure donation money from her. It is certain that UC members et al. had access to
information regarding PA‟s financial situation from the very beginning of their relationships.
Using this information, the same members determined the amount PA would donate based
on the amount of money in PA‟s deceased husband‟s life insurance fund over which PA had
control. Accordingly, the same members thought they should make PA donate this same
amount of money. This was designed to be accomplished by an intensive 10-day
lecture/training course whereby PA was taught the so-called “unification principles,” etc.
Successively then, the same UC members Endo et al. summoned PA to an apartment
building room which was a comparatively confined, that is, a small sized room measuring
4.5 tatami mats or roughly 2.7m x 2.7m in area. Here, for a long period of more than six
hours, the following events took place. Endo showed PA her family lineage chart. In doing
so, Endo emphatically and relentlessly lectured PA about the karma of her (PA‟s) ancestors.
Endo also informed PA of harm and danger, and about misfortunes that would occur in the
event that she (PA) did not comply with the donation. In complement to the above, UCY and
Tokunaga sat on either side of PA holding PA‟s hands tightly, and in collaboration with
Endo‟s statements urged PA to comply with the donation. Thus, the situation was such that
PA could not retreat from the room, and may be referred to in other words as a situation of
house arrest or lenient confinement.
In this same situation, PA began to feel apprehensive. Consequently, PA was forced into
consenting to the 30,000,000-yen donation. Furthermore, the above UC members forbade
PA to say anything to anyone concerning the above donation. As a result, PA ended up
disbursing a large portion of her deceased husband‟s life insurance fund, which PA had
rightfully procured.
All the above statements have been recognized as true and valid.
Accordingly, it may be surmised that even if the above acts surrounding the procurement of
the 30,000,000-yen donation against PA by UC members Endo et al. are recognized as
having been carried out in connection with missionary work as Endo et al. maintain, the
same above acts clearly cannot be held as entirely socially appropriate with regard to the
objectives, methods, and results of these same acts. Furthermore, because the above acts
of solicitation for the procurement of monetary donations were those established by a
conspiracy of Endo et al., the same said acts are rendered unlawful in accordance with
Article 709 of Japanese Civil Law.
Section C
Correlatively, as regards PB‟s 2,100,000-yen donation in accordance with the previously
verified facts (as stated in Part I, Section B, Articles 1 through 3), the following may be
surmised:
