Police investigators following the serpentine money trails of a company strongly suspected of being tied to a major Japanese yakuza (gangster) group have stumbled across a surprising American connection.

The police discovered that Prescott Bush , the older brother of President Bush , was working as a consultant to West Tsusho , a Tokyo-based investment company police believe is backed by one of Japan's most powerful underworld figures and which they are investigating for possible violation of foreign exchange laws.

The foreign exchange law violations are related to West Tsusho 's investments in two American companies, Quantum Access, a Houston-based software development company, and Asset Management International Finance and Settlement, a company in which Prescott Bush was a senior adviser until resigning the position last year. According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Bush recommended the two companies to West Tsusho as investments and was paid a $250,000 commission by West Tsusho for his services in connection with the Asset Management acquisition. Bush also guaranteed some of West Tsusho 's investments, according to the SEC documents. . . .
