Shareholders criticize TEPCO for ignoring warning
A group of shareholders of Tokyo Electric Power Company have criticized the utility for having ignored experts' warnings of a possible earthquake and tsunami around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

The group of 42 shareholders made the accusation in the opening of a negligence suit against 27 former and current presidents and chairmen of TEPCO, at the Tokyo District Court on Thursday.

The 27 have held the executive posts since 2002 when a government panel warned that a huge earthquake could occur around the Fukushima plant.
