Three people, including the Yamaguchi-gumi gang leader, were arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of attempted arson, alleging that they threw a flame bottle in front of the Matsuba-kai headquarters office, a designated gang in Taito-ku, Tokyo.
Three people were arrested, including Toshio Takeshima (61), the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi gangster group "Ryochi-gumi" in Adachi-ku, Tokyo, and Dai Goto (31), a former gangster member in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture. ..
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it is suspected that an attempted arson was attempted in January, when a flame bottle was thrown in front of the headquarters office of the Matsubakai, a designated organized crime group in Nishiasakusa, Taito-ku.
A part of the outer wall of the building where the office is located was burnt, but at that time there was no one in the office and no one was injured.
Eight days before the incident, a Matsuba-kai gangster was arrested for plunging into the office of the Ryochi group with a dump truck, and it is suspected that he threw a Molotov cocktail in retaliation.
The Ryochi-gumi originally had an office in Shizuoka Prefecture, but since it had moved to Adachi Ward about a month before the incident, the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the details of the conflict between the gangsters.
The approval or disapproval of the three is not disclosed.
