Pro-North Korea organization raided over tax law violations
A crowd of pro-Pyongyang Zainichi Koreans gathered to protest yesterday as police raided the offices of an organization believed to have performed illegal tax accounting for Korean businesses in Tokyo:
The Tokyo police searched locations Wednesday including an affiliate of the pro-Pyongyang General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, or Chongryon, on suspicion of violating the certified tax accountant law, investigative sources said.
The Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Bureau suspects that a man believed to be linked to the affiliate — a chamber of commerce and industry in Tokyo’s Shinjuku area — produced a tax declaration document on behalf of a chamber member around 2006 without qualification as a certified tax accountant, they said.
