India orders Greenpeace to shut down over fraud
[Rooters] - India has canceled Greenpeace International's license to operate and gave the group 30 days to close down, citing financial fraud and falsification of data, the environment watchdog said on Friday.
And who better to catch fraud than a bureaucrat in the Indian government? (oh okay, a Russian bureaucrat, or a Paraguayan bureaucrat, or a Democrat, or...)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has turned the spotlight on foreign charities since he took office last year, accusing some of trying to hamper projects on social and environmental grounds.

Last year, Modi government withdrew permission to Greenpeace to receive foreign funding, saying the money was used to block industrial projects.

Under the latest order issued by authorities in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu where Greenpeace is registered
I told you we should have registered in Panama!,
the government said it had found that the organization had violated the provisions of law by engaging in fraudulent dealings.

Greenpeace denied any wrongdoing and said the closure was a "clumsy tactic" to silence dissent.
I'm innocent I tell you, innocent!
Greenpeace India has campaigned against coal mines in forests, genetically modified crops, nuclear power and toxic waste management.

In recent months the federal government has toughened rules governing charities and canceled the registration of nearly 9,000 groups for failing to declare details of overseas donations.
