Yamaguchi-gumi divides into intensifying conflicts to be designated as a “specific conflict-designated gang” December 20, 13:28
Public security committees such as Hyogo Prefecture designate the two organizations as "specific conflict designated gangs" that can crack down more severely as conflicts intensify between Yamaguchi Gumi and the split Yamaguchi Gumi, the largest designated gang in Japan. We started listening to opinions from both sides in our policy.
The confrontation between the Yamaguchi Gumi and the split Kobe Yamaguchi Gumi was intensified last month in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, where executives of the Kobe Yamaguchi Gumi were killed by automatic rifles.
For this reason, the Hyogo Prefecture, where the two groups are based, and the six public safety committees in Osaka, Kyoto, Aichi, Mie, and Gifu, said the gang Based on the Countermeasures Law, we started the procedure to listen to the opinions of both parties from the 20th with the policy of designating as a “special conflict designated gang” that allows for more stringent control.
Of these, the Hyogo Prefectural Public Safety Commission made an opportunity to listen to opinions from the Kobe Yamaguchi Gumi side, but did not attend.
On the other hand, Yamaguchigumi is scheduled to hear opinions on the 23rd of this month.
Opinion hearing is advanced in each prefecture, too and is a policy to appoint as "specific conflict designated gang" at the beginning of the year.
If designated, it is forbidden for members to gather with more than five members in the area designated as a warning area, to enter a group office, and to contend with members of opposing organizations, etc. Police can be arrested.
