He accused Google of defaming him with material he said implied he was a major crime figure in Melbourne and had been the target of a professional hit.

The data underscore fears about a stuttering post-disaster recovery for the world's third-largest economy which has suffered from the global slowdown and a Tokyo-Beijing diplomatic spat that dragged on exports.

 

The figures from the Cabinet Office on Monday, largely in line with market expectations, come after Japan's economy remained in positive territory for the past two quarters, after shrinking 0.3 percent in the last three months of 2011.
