On Wednesday, September 19, the Japanese police arrested a 74-year-old Yasuaki Sagae, the head of the influential criminal group "Yamaguchi", in Saitama prefecture.
During the operation, over 20 active members of the group were detained together with the leader. The mafia was smuggling and subsequently distributing drugs.
According to the investigation, only in the last two years, about 12 million yen were transferred from the sale of drugs to one of the known personal accounts of Yasuaki Sagae.
The investigation is led by the investigators of numerous areas of Japan, including Tokyo, Hokkaido, Shidzuoka, Nagano and Saitama. It is assumed that the leader of the gang will get the maximum severity of punishment for the crimes.
