Japan’s largest Yakuza gang finds turf wars too troublesome, pledges peace to police

Japan’s largest yakuza organised crime body submitted a written pledge to authorities to end its wars with splinter groups, police told AFP on Thursday. Senior members of the Yamaguchi-gumi came to the Hyogo Prefecture Police on Monday to submit the letter, which said the group would “end all infightings” with a promise “not to make any trouble”, a regional police official told AFP.

The Yakuzas, the Japanese underworld, undertake, in writing, to the police to put an end to their internal wars, sometimes bloody. A measure that proves the decline of the yakuzas.

High-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi sent a letter to the police. Whether their splinter groups join the violence is still unclear
