SEOUL - South Koreans forced to work for Japanese occupiers will seek a court order to forcibly liquidate Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ assets to compensate them, their lawyers said on Tuesday, risking more Japanese anger over the issue.
Instead, Japan has cited “inadequate management” of sensitive items exported to South Korea, with Japanese media reporting that quantities of one of the materials had been shipped to North Korea. South Korea’s Supreme Court last year ordered the Japanese company to compensate 10 forced labor victims, drawing a strong rebuke from Japan, which believes the matter was settled under a 1965 treaty.
“We will apply for an order to sell the assets of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as soon as possible,” they said.The South Korean Supreme Court ruled in November Mitsubishi must pay between 80 million won and 150 million won to each of 10 people who worked for the company during World War Two.
