That's crap, people were scared of them. They don't do anything good for the country. Any "good" you read about they have done 100 times more bad things.

Pretty sad to be being bullied at 59 years old.
Shoplifting and committing crimes and being arrested for your little gang's boss...ridiculous.

Poor guys. My heart goes out to them.

Next time I go past my local chapter I will make a donation....

So, that would mean, if the "boss" was with them, then he should be arrested as well. Sounds to me that the underlings are taking one for the boss here.
Someone at that store has some pretty big cojones.

If little me assisted people stealing tons of groceries, I would have been locked up for years then deported.

Wow the yaks have gone from making onigiri's to give away to having to steal them because they are hungry!! Hopeully they are on their way out!

Stealing 76000yen of food in a supermarket, i think some staff may notice.. that is a hell of a lot of food.

But they are gangsters. Stealing is what they do. Why the surprise? The "so poor" line is just to evoke sympathy from us.

Or run for office. Allegedly!

Although this is an article about the Yakuza committing a crime, this is actually really good news!

You have to be a very strange country to let known criminals run known offices.

Sounds more like a prank or some sort of (bad) initiation/ rite of passage. In any case, demystified!

Time to get a real job.

Uh-oh! After these guys are let go with no punishment, they might have a stern talking to and have to apologize to police at the next Yakuza party the police chief attends.
