yakuza vs PAP

[drifter]

Last week the head of Japan's biggest yakuza crime syndicate has been freed from jail after almost six years.

Kenichi Shinoda was jailed for illegal gun possession shortly after taking over the Yamaguchi-gumi - a gang with an estimated 35,000 members.

Late last year Shinoda's second-in-command, Kiyoshi Takayama, was arrested over extortion allegations.

Japan's yakuza groups are not illegal, and frequently operate front companies out of smart offices.

Before he went to jail, Shinoda is said to have greatly expanded the Yamaguchi-gumi's reach by sealing deals with other gangs.

But in 2009 the police launched a crackdown which has seriously disrupted the gang's operations.

Shinoda emerged from jail in Fuchu, west of Tokyo, wearing sunglasses and a leather hat.

The 69-year-old, who has previously spent time in jail for killing a rival with a samurai sword, headed back to his home in the city of Kobe.

when i asked my japanese friends why japan goverment allow the yakuza to be in japan . And they told me that yakuza play an important role in japan they can help ppl who got into trouble within their " area " ...for example dunken customers creating troubles in clubs , shops , houses ...ect , or being a middle man between business rivals that located in their turfs , cleaning the streets ...ect . so does it means that PAP are worst then japan yakuza ?
