Yamaguchi-gumi faces prolonged police gang designation
Original: 山口組
Japan's largest yakuza group, the Yamaguchi-gumi, is likely to remain under the 'bento koso' designated-gang-warfare designation for longer than expected, according to Japanese news coverage. Authorities have issued alerts over the risk of the group going underground or erupting into renewed violence amid its conflict with breakaway factions.
Why now: Reports that the gang's designation will be extended and warnings of possible violence are drawing fresh attention to the ongoing yakuza split conflict in Japan.
