The Unification Church has allegedly facilitated as many as 745 adoptions for its members in Japan over the last 41 years, it has been learned.
On Tuesday, the government submitted questions to the group officially known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification as part of an investigation into the revelations.
Punitive measures could include administrative guidance or criminal prosecution as unauthorized mediation in adoptions is prohibited under the Adoption Agency Law, which came into effect in 2018.
