SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The church founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon agreed to pay $500,000 to restore damaged habitat — and avoid prosecution — in the case of a pastor who poached baby sharks from San Francisco Bay, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Under the "non-prosecution agreement," the Unification Church's payment will go toward a $1.5 million fund to undo the environmental damage inflicted by the pastor's bizarre scheme, the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco said.
The manner of the habitat damage was unclear Monday, and authorities could not provide details.
