After Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing Japanese economy were collapsed then America started investing and rebuilding japan at that time Yakuza group took over Japanese black market.
- Today mafia’s main source of incomes is frauds/drug trafficking/bribery/black mail. They have agents in the all over the world doing criminal activities for their mafia like assassination and other criminal activities.
