Names and leaders of the top ten gangster organizations in the world

The largest East Asian gangster organization: Yakuza

An East Asian gangster with a history of hundreds of years. It can be openly active in Japan. The godfather was democratically elected and made public through a press conference. At present, there are about 1, members, and the three largest gangs are Yamaguchi group (26,), Inagawa society (8,3) and Sumitomo society (8,2). The annual income is more than 1 billion dollars, of which 35% comes from drugs and 2% is legal income from legitimate investment.

If someone makes trouble in the streets of Japan, it is Yakuza members who arrive first, not the police. They will use the most cruel means to deal with troublemakers to maintain order in their own territory; If there is a murder, Yakuza will spare no effort to investigate the truth like the police, and then hand over the murderer to the real police. In return, every time before the government sweeps the gang, senior Yakuza members will withdraw in advance. Considering the face of the police, they usually leave a few guns for the police to "confiscate".

Yakuza has a good relationship with political circles. Behind every election, there are funds and votes from Yakuza. Therefore, when the godfather of Yamaguchi gang was jailed for murder, former Prime Minister Xiang Kishi Nobusuke and two former ministers jointly released him on bail. This incident shocked the world, but the Japanese are used to it. In 1975, the Japanese police found a huge photo in the home of a godfather of the Yamaguchi group. The godfather in the photo was drinking with the then Prime Minister Masayoshi Daping.

Yakuza and the government are not completely without conflict. When the godfather Tian Gang Ge Lu died of a heart attack, the Yamaguchi group decided to hold a traditional Buddhist funeral in public despite repeated persuasion by the police. In retaliation, the police arrested nearly 9 members of the Yamaguchi group. But on the day of the funeral, 13 followers from all over the country gathered in Kobe. About 8 riot police with helmets and shields were waiting around, and another 5 police searched everyone attending the funeral at the airport and railway station, including Japanese top star Gao Cangjian. Gao Cangjian became famous for Yakuza's film "The Net Walk to Prison", and played Tian Gang Ge Lu himself in the trilogy of Tian Gang Life.

After the funeral, 18 senior members voted to elect Takenaka as godfather. However, the second boss, Hiroshi Yamamoto, refused to cooperate. He held a press conference. He told the Japanese people that it was time to fight for the truth, and officially announced: "I can't agree that Takenaka is the godfather of the Yamaguchi group. This is my sincere final decision."

Two months later, Yamamoto and 18 other senior members formed the "Ichiwa" gang, which took away half the members of the Yamaguchi group. In order not to let Yamamoto's limelight overwhelm him, Takenaka held a more grand inauguration ceremony for a long time. More than 3 members attended, all of them were black suits, white-collar belts and gold-plated help badges. In a Japanese hotel, the widow of the former godfather solemnly handed a dagger symbolizing supreme power to the new godfather.

it is very difficult to survive in Japanese gangs. In June, 1993, Masayoshi Komiya, a group leader of Inagawa Society, shot himself because he could not fulfill the quota of protection funds allocated by the organization. Before committing suicide, he called his mistress and said, "It is better to die than to be humiliated by being expelled from the organization because he can't borrow money." Three weeks later, a leader of the Yamaguchi group also shot himself for the same reason.

The most arrogant drug trafficking group: Medellin

Pablo Escobar was selected as one of the seven richest people in the world by Fortune magazine, and his private army of 4, people was well equipped; His special plane is called "Lark". This combat helicopter originally belonged to the Colombian navy, equipped with multiple rocket launchers and rattlesnake missiles, and is known as the "air tank". Escobar dispatched three fighter planes to land Skylark at his own airport and became his private plane.

Escobar is the most arrogant drug Lord in history. The policeman who arrested him was shot and killed within three days; The judge who tried him, after his wife was gang-raped, the bra and underwear covered with semen were sent to the judge's office; The Colombian Attorney General who wanted him was arrested by him with a reward of $1 million, and he finally died on the street. In 1987, his brother ochoa was arrested. The president of the Colombian Supreme Court, who was in charge of the trial, resigned one after another, and the Minister of Justice had to cancel the arrest warrant.

But in the eyes of local people, Escobar is a hero. "The Colombian people have finally picked up a powerful weapon against American imperialism, and we are not responsible for the 25 million drug addicts in American society!" Escobar said this in an interview with the media.

The American government has been trying to get rid of Escobar, which is not easy. In March 1984, under the command of American military advisers, 5, Colombian government troops took Hercules transport plane and went straight to the home of Medellin Group. With the air support of dozens of American F-16 fighters and Apache helicopters, 15 drug dealers were killed and thousands of people were captured.

However, Escobar's counterattack was also extremely sharp. Only one month later, the Colombian drug commander-in-chief, Attorney General Lara, was shot dead. In May, more than 5 drug dealers simply rushed into the building of the Colombian Ministry of Justice, trying to kidnap senior officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Procuratorate and the Drug Control Police. More than 4 military and police officers struggled to resist, and the two sides once formed a stalemate. Subsequently, 3 drug traffickers carrying surface-to-surface missiles came to reinforce. The fighting continued until late at night, when the Colombian Defence Forces joined the fighting. The drug dealers left with five judges and a police chief, leaving the bodies of 34 policemen and 11 judges.

In p>1989, NASA used the most advanced "Dapeng" reconnaissance satellite and infrared thermal imager to determine the exact location of Medellin Group, and the Colombian government launched the largest anti-drug operation in history: 2 special players trained by the United States directly parachuted into the tiger's den, and thousands of officers and men of the elite 14th Brigade of the National Defence Force surrounded the left and right sides, cutting off the land and sea escape routes. Finally, 5 F-16 fighters formed a bomber group to attack Medellin. However, Escobar and his men miraculously escaped and continued to entangle with the government forces.

In p>1991, the Colombian government accepted Escobar's three conditions for soliciting peace: to ensure the legalization of his personal property; Punish the police who have violated the human rights of drug dealers and their families; Build a special prison guarded by regular troops to ensure their lives.

Mafia fattening the border: Mexican Mafia

In May p>23, US Customs found 8 stowaways from Mexico on a truck, 18 of whom had suffocated. This kind of thing happens every day, and "snakeheads" from all over the world gather on the Mexican border. Those people of all colors who hold the American dream have tirelessly broken through and been expelled again and again. Statistics tell them that if there is no sudden death on the way, they can enter the rich United States with an average of seven adventures.

Drug trafficking is a reserved program on the US-Mexico border, and more than $1 billion of drugs enter the United States from here every year.

Kidnapping is a traditional game of Mexican gangs. Kidnapping here ranks second in the world after Colombia. Kallet, the most wanted man arrested in 2, made more than 2 major cases by himself, from the owner of Chrysler Automobile Company to the president of Presidential Hotel Group, as long as he was eyeing him, he never ran away. Even foreign ambassadors can't escape looting. In November 22, King Carlos of Spain paid an official visit to Mexico. On the way of the Spanish ambassador to Mexico to meet the king at the airport, the mob looted the car with the Spanish flag and diplomatic license plate. Afterwards, the Spanish Embassy in Mexico said that they did not intend to report the case to the police, because "it was a waste of time and there would be no result".

Culiacan, Guadalajara, Ciudad Juá rez, matamoros, Sonora and Tijuana-the six mafia families in Mexico control the 3,2-kilometer border with the United States, so they are full of brains. Drug dealers and organizers of illegal immigrants are happy to gather around them and share the rich leftovers.

The Mexican government didn't sit idly by. They hired two "Mafia busters" as consultants. One is Giuliani, the former mayor of new york, and the other is Leoluca Orlando, the former mayor of Palermo. But what's the result? Giuliani, who received a consultancy fee of $4 million, believes that the initial results will benefit from the end of the Cold War at least three years later: Russian gangs

After the end of the Cold War, Russian gangs are finally free to learn skills from their foreign counterparts. Appreciate each other, both sides, has a feeling of brief encounter. Russian gangs provide weapons to Nigeria, buy drugs from Colombia, cooperate with Italian mafia to launder money, and cooperate with Yakuza of Japan to explore the pornographic market. Their attempt to sell nuclear materials has always been a nightmare in the hearts of the US government. The director of the FBI believes that Russian gangs have replaced the former Soviet army and become a new threat to the European and American security systems.

In Russia, gangs control everything. Tokta Hornov, the "godfather of sports", not only manipulated the referee to order his players to win the doubles championship in the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, but also extended his hand to the tennis world. Kafelnikov, Safin and Kournikova openly admit that they are friends with the "godfather of sports", but they all refuse to go into details. "I'm a Russian, and I'm going back there," explained the Spice Girl. The living can only keep silent, and the sports people who dare to talk about details are all dead. In 1996, the general manager of Spartak professional ice hockey club was shot dead. In less than a year, the head of the Russian Ice Hockey Association went to hell. Two months later, the general manager of Spartak Football Club in Moscow also met with Yan Wang.

Internet prostitution is a sign that Russian gangs have entered the information age. Although there are definitely good women in the international marriage websites, if the marriage seekers are too glamorous and moving, there is probably another mystery. Russia's Pravda said that 7% of cross-border marriages are controlled by Russian gangs. When a bride married to the United States is familiar with the local environment, she will get her sisters over and explore the local market together. Whether it is true or not is unknown, but there are many girls with bright eyes and white teeth on Russia's largest international dating website. If you are willing to pay $2,, the website can arrange a "special" blind date trip for you.

St. Petersburg, the capital of crime

Russian President Vladimir Putin spent $1.5 billion to celebrate the "3th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg", and 44 heads of state also came to join in. But in the eyes of local people, this is a "crime capital".

In the new round of conflict that broke out in p>2, Kalus, the president of Baltic Oil Company, was killed in the city center in broad daylight, and 35-year-old Walsman, the second person in Russia's largest beer factory, was also killed by mysterious professional gunmen at home. In 22, St. Petersburg police seized more than 2, weapons, including more than 1 grenades and 21 machine guns. The local media believe that what the police have seized is "not even the tip of the iceberg" compared with what the gangs hold.

In this crime capital, it seems difficult for officials to be spotless. Rumor has it that Vladimir Yakovlev, the mayor of St. Petersburg, was re-elected twice with the support of gangs. Even Putin, the president who is famous for his innocence, seems to be involved. According to the US Newsweek, American and European intelligence officials suspected that the Russian-German real estate development company in St. Petersburg was involved in underworld money laundering, and Putin served on the advisory board of the company during his time as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. Although there is no evidence that Putin has benefited from this company, there is still a pervasive gangster smell in these clues.

notorious Chinese gangsters: big circle gangs

The earliest Chinese gangsters are called "man called hero". They are entitled to be proud. Faced with the indifference of the police, they have no choice but to unite against the local black forces.

the earliest Chinese gangster in the police files was the ABC (American-born China) organization in Chinatown in 197s. ABC waged a three-year war with the Mafia, and the Gambino family lost 37 right-hand men. According to the FBI's wiretapping recording of Paul Gambino, the godfather thinks that the mafia can no longer control Chinatown, so it is better to give up. In this way, ABC "liberated" Chinatown and won a reputation in the underground society.

after losing the enemy of * * *, there was a conflagration within ABC, and the civil war lasted for 1 years. It was not until 1985 that the American police successfully went undercover and put all the bosses in prison in one fell swoop that the peace in Chinatown was restored. But peace is short-lived, and conflict is the eternal theme. The failure of ABC provided another Chinese gangster with an opportunity to rise rapidly, and smuggling and high-tech crimes became new oil and water in Chinatown.

The big circle gang is only a gang in the primary stage, with no strict organizational structure, and most of its core members have professional backgrounds. The big circle gang first became famous in Hong Kong, and then moved to North America and Australia with the tide of mainland immigrants.

in the early 198s, the standard equipment of the big circle gang was "Black Star" (May 4th pistol). Although the black star's directivity is poor (the distance of 25 meters can deviate by 2 cm) and the grip angle is not good (the muzzle is down when holding normally, so the wrist should be upright), its penetrating power is extremely strong, which is extremely suitable for close combat of gangs. At that time, the bullet-proof vest of the Hong Kong police was absolutely a hole in one shot when it met the "black star". Therefore, experienced Hong Kong police officers turned around and ran when they saw the "Black Star".

Canada is also the sphere of influence of big circles. On the list of the local organized crime investigation bureau, the big circle gang has surpassed the Lotus Gang and Vietnam Gang in Hong Kong and Taiwan to become the leader of Asian gangs. Together with the local Hell Angels, it controls half of the drug wholesale market.

Big circle gangs are also famous in Australia. In 22, the Australian police seized a drug trafficking case of hundreds of millions of dollars, and found that 1 members of the big circle were suspected. They not only drove the "5T Party" of Vietnamese origin out of Chinatown in Australia, but also launched a new round of opium war against local whites.

underworld brains: American Jewish gangs

Behind every successful man, there is a Jewish brain trust. George W. Bush's brain trust is Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz, while Luciano's Jewish brain trust is Meyer Lansky, who is the only foreigner who can attend the Mafia National Congress. Although he didn't have the right to vote, the Italian godfathers respected him very much, because Lansky not only had brains, but also controlled the financial revenue and expenditure of the mafia.

The friendship between Lansky and Luciano can be traced back to childhood. When Luciano charged the Jewish child protection money, he got the answer: "Put your protection money up your ass, I don't need it." From then on, they became friends. Except for the same ambition and violence, they were all calm professional criminals. In the 192s, Luciano and Lansky set up "Seven Groups" to monopolize the private liquor market in new york. In order to keep the friendship with Lansky, Luciano even killed his godfather, Marsella.

Under the planning of Lansky, Luciano gradually transformed the mafia full of thugs into a well-organized modern society. When Luciano was in prison, Lansky managed to rescue him; When Luciano was exiled to the west
