Yakuza kingpin "a danger to society" is deported

BANGKOK: A Japanese gangster who police say is a leading figure in the Yakuza responsible for 200 million baht of crimes was deported on Friday.

The frequent visitor to Thailand once reported that he had a Thai wife.

Five Japanese police came to pick up Shuhei Yoshizawa on Friday after he was arrested in Thailand on May 1st. An international arrest warrant from a Kobe court had been out for the man in connection with a string of some 600 crimes involving 200 million baht.

Thai police revoked his right to stay in the kingdom citing that he was a danger to society. Even though he had assaulted police during his arrest they decided not to pursue the charge so his deportation could be expedited.

Police said that Yoshizawa had been to Thailand many times as a tourist. He asked to stay in the kingdom in February 2015 reporting that he had a Thai wife.

He was cuffed and taken on a Japanese Airlines flight to Osaka Friday evening.

First order of the day for any criminal entering Thailand and wishing to stay, is to marry a clueless

Thai woman to act as a front and give themselves an air of family man and a person with domestic

responsibilities, which is as far from the truth as possible.....

[EricBerg]

Good thing. The Japanese will deal with him. Pity the many thousands of Thais that are a danger to society cannot be deported.

Bit of a silly thing to say

[rkidlad]

I thought it was only scumbag 'farangs' that came here. There are also Asian ones, too?

Well, in Japan they call the mafia the Yakuza. Here they're called the RTP.

[Prbkk]

I miss the wizened old cop who quit a few months ago : he used to appear in these situations, looking as though he belonged in film noir. These ones look too ordinary and modern.

Do Yakuza,not do tattoos now ?,and cannot tell if he has any missing

fingers as the have blurred his hands ,are handcuffs a forbidden sight

now.

its not handcuffs. he just decided to show the world what he thought of his predicament .

[Winniedapu]

First the Uighurs, now yakuza.

I'm not sure this government is making the right impression, either of those groups would eat our beloved leader before breakfast if they thought he were motivated by an excessive zeal to please.

Deported to where???

[gemguy]

I'llll be back....is what the Yakuza ( spoken: Yah-kah-Sa ) guy is thinking

Or they will just send a replacement for Thailand because his criminal activities earned good money for the Mafia.

That being the case there will be a new face in town..... if need be ......while this is just a temporary hick up in the world of organized crime

Cheers

He looks like the sort of guy that I want to buy a used car from.

Not silly at all. Only saying the truth. Many of the Thai's that are talked about on this forum are dangers to society and many of the day to day Thai's are too.

Deported to where???

Where else???

Koh Tao!

[oxo1947]

He has all his fingers......(Google images) but does seem to have a lot of facial bruising that is missing in the photo on TV...........

[fishhooks]

Hope they gave him a pair of socks to wear on the flight, gets quite cold down there on those "airyplanes"

[haybilly]

Seems to have bumped into something!

Sorry, I see Oxo has already mentioned this.

Send them to Europe, they're taking all others.

Deported to where???

To some far uninhabited island in some ocean that nobody else cares about. There the thugs, corrupt cops, kid killers, cop killers old people attackers, people off balcony throwers, disabled people murderers and many more anti social incurable mad dogs can live happily ever after among themselves.

[wvavin]

Yakuza members maybe terrors in the society but so much safer than those low life police extorting money from the weak and the poor.

The Japanese police have been having a crack down on the Yakuza for quite a while now George, many of them are not tattoo'd nowadays.

[NickJ]

I guess the check wasnt in the mail.....

[luckyman]

Good riddance but...

Looks way too young to be a yakuza kingpin.

And the amount of 200 mio bht revenue upon committing 600 crimes is not that much of an accomplishment either in his type of business.

[IamNoone88]

Low level deportation. The king pings wear suits and run large corporations.

they should deport all scumbags regardless where they are from. No need to keep them here, don't think you can compare this deport ion with the Uighuss.

[SOTIRIOS]

...always somebody else to blame...

...one thing for sure he was not their patsy....so better get rid of him....

..an astute businessman by any other name...

...jeez....you'd think that he was being kicked out of paradise.....
