調査捕鯨の裏にこうした行為があったとしたら残念ですが・・・。真相はどうでしょう?
Greenpeace has uncovered an embezzlement ring within Japan's purported scientific whaling hunt, with crew alledgedly selling stolen meat on the black market, the Japan arm of the international environmental group said Thursday.
Greenpeace Japan said in Tokyo it would file a criminal complaint with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office the same day against 12 crew members, using a box of meat it obtained as evidence.
The ship's operator, Kyodo Senpaku, said in response that there had been a decade-old custom of giving crew members "souvenior" meat so they could distribute it to neighbors when they returned home.
But the firm was worried that some wrongdoing may have taken place.
