Tokyo, Japan — Stake outs, testimony from informers, hidden cameras and tailing trucks full of stolen goods - it reads like a Hollywood movie, but it was an every day experience for Greenpeace activists in Japan, who have spent four months cracking open a major conspiracy of corruption at the heart of Japan's government-backed, sham scientific whaling operation.

Bureaucrats ignore theft from taxpayers

Our activists delivered the evidence, including the whale meat, to the Public Prosecutor's office in Tokyo, calling on it to make a full public inquiry into how deep the corruption runs with the whaling program. We're also calling for an end to the $4.7 million taxpayer subsidies for the program, and for the license of the company operating the whale hunt, Kyodo Senpaku, to be withdrawn.
