Four former executives at the Tokyo Electric Power Company were reportedly ordered Wednesday to pay $95 billion in damages to the company for failing to stop the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown.
A decade ago, 48 Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) shareholders sued a group of former executives, demanding they pay up over their failure to prevent the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima.
A Tokyo court on Wednesday ordered four former executives at the utility behind the tsunami wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant to pay 13 trillion yen (US$94 billion) to the company, holding them liable for the 2011 meltdown crisis.
