So racketeering, extortion, arson, kidnapping, human trafficking, drugs, rape, torture, vandalism, child porn and murder are all fine but lying on a form is a bridge too far for the yakuza?

It's not that it's too far compared to the other stuff, but they also have a hard time catching higher ups with this other stuff, since they don't do it themselves.

So it's actually a very common way to catch them. One from the Yamaguchi clan was caught recently for having subscribed for a point card in a supermarket.


Exactly. It’s the same principle of how the US finally got Al Capone for tax evasion, of all things.
