Yasuhiro Tsuyuki, former commissioner-general of Japan’s National Police Agency, has pinned high hopes on new measures aimed at cracking down on tokuryū crime groups comprised of loosely connected anonymous members that operate via social media.
To better combat such groups, Japanese police are set in October to conduct organizational reforms such as setting up a new dedicated investigation team and strengthening information gathering and analysis to help identify ringleaders.
In a recent interview, Tsuyuki stressed the importance of measures to fight tokuryū groups. “If (the reorganization) works, considerable results can be achieved,” he said.
