Aren't TEPCO 'gangsters' for taking money from the Japanese government to 'fix' their mess? What about the companies involved in building this faulty technology in the first place? Corrupt people and banks are profiting from the catastrophe, but it has nothing to do with 'gangsters'... Who is paying the people on the newly established council? What agenda are they trying to push through? More questions than answers once again.




TEPCO to eliminate gangsters from nuclear projects

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is stepping up efforts to prevent gangsters from earning money in projects for bringing the crisis under control.

Tokyo Electric Power Company and 23 affiliates set up a council to eliminate criminal organizations from such projects.

More than 50 people from member companies and the National Police Agency, the council's advisor, attended its first meeting in Tokyo on Friday.

The head of the council, Satoshi Muto of TEPCO, said gangsters may become involved in rebuilding efforts and could work at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

He said the council will step up cooperation with police to develop measures to stop their participation.

Police say criminal syndicates are gaining work in rebuilding projects, claiming to be companies and volunteer groups.

A gangster has been arrested in Iwate Prefecture for illegally sending workers to construction sites for temporary housing.

The council plans to cooperate with police in drawing up contracts and exchanging information on criminal groups to prevent their participation in projects.
