Japan police expect "bloody violence" as largest Yazkuza syndicate (and wealthiest crime syndicate in the world) set to split.

War is imminent in the Japanese gang world, police say, as Yamaguchi-gumi – the largest yakuza conglomerate – is facing a split. Authorities are awaiting an outbreak of bloody violence, as the syndicate boasts some 43 percent of all Japan’s gang members...
