Greenpeace’s leaky wallet got home ministry’s goat

timesofindia.indiatimes.com - NEW DELHI: The home ministry's inspection report on Greenpeace India Society cites its protest-creation activity through front organizations, expenditure on securing bail bonds for volunteers and staff without the donor's consent and the "unjustifiably large" amounts paid as salaries and consultation fees to its functionaries to allege that its "activities were neither charitable nor in line with its Articles of Association".

The report, accessed by TOI, claims that Greenpeace incurred an expenditure of Rs 25,000 in 2008-09 and Rs 55,000 in 2009-10 for securing bail bonds and payment of legal fee, apart from spending Rs 28.35 lakh in 2010-11 on financing and legal charges, without the consent of the donor as required by Section 8(1)(a) of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010.
