Leader of a criminal gang complains: Corona has negatively affected our profits

The head of an organized crime group in Japan revealed that his "business" has been hit hard by the Corona pandemic, which has negatively affected profits.

The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that the group known as "Yakuza" is famous for making money through illegal means such as gambling, drug smuggling and supervision.

 Legitimate businesses should operate food stalls during festivals and events that have been canceled or greatly reduced in size due to the pandemic.


In this context, the unnamed Yakuza chief told the Japanese newspaper "Daily Shinshu" that maintaining income during the epidemic has become "impossible", adding, "We usually reap big profits from people who visit shrines at the end of the year and the new year." This year, due to Covid-19, it became impossible. "

"Compared with previous years, our profits are only a third of what we usually achieve," he said, noting that "the number of food stalls that we occupy has decreased due to government measures to


combat the epidemic in addition to the dwindling number of crowds visiting the shrines."
