In Japan, four members of the Sumiyoshi-kai, a Yakuza group, were arrested for allegedly operating an office too near a public library, breaching local zoning laws. Surprisingly, it is legal in Japan to belong to organized crime syndicates, but they must adhere to specific regulations, including their distance from educational institutions. This monitoring stems from the Boryokudan Countermeasures Law of 1991, designed to control violence and legitimate business engagements by allowing these groups to operate openly, albeit under strict guidelines.
The Japanese authorities monitor organized crime syndicates like the Yakuza, allowing them to operate as long as they adhere to zoning regulations and do not engage in violence.
The Boryokudan Countermeasures Law of 1991 aimed to control Yakuza activities by maintaining their existence as semi-legitimate organizations, avoiding violent public disturbances.
