Top Ten Gangs in the World

An East Asian gangster with a history of hundreds of years. It can be openly active in Japan. The godfather was democratically elected and made public through a press conference. At present, there are about 654.38 million members, and the three largest gangs are Yamaguchi group (26,000), Inagawa society (8,300) and Sumitomo society (8,200). The annual income is more than $654.38+000 billion, of which 35% comes from drugs and 20% is legal income from legal investment.

If someone makes trouble in the streets of Japan, the first person to arrive is not the police, but the members of the Yamaguchi group. They will use the most cruel means to deal with troublemakers to maintain order in their territory; If a murder really happens, the Yamaguchi group will spare no effort to investigate the truth like the police, and then hand over the murderer to the real police. In return, every time before the government sweeps the gang, the top gang members will quit early. Considering the face of the police, they usually leave a few guns for the police to "confiscate".

The Yamaguchi group has a good relationship with political circles. Behind every election, there are funds and votes from the Yamaguchi group. Therefore, when the godfather of the Yamaguchi group was imprisoned for murder, former Prime Minister Xiang and two former ministers jointly released him on bail. This incident shocked the world, but the Japanese are used to it. 1975, Japanese police found a huge photo in the home of a godfather of the Yamaguchi group. The godfather in the photo is drinking with the then Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira.

The Yamaguchi group and the government are not completely without conflict. When the godfather Tian Ganggelu died of a heart attack, the Yamaguchi group ignored the repeated persuasion of the police and decided to hold a traditional Buddhist funeral in public. In retaliation, the police arrested nearly 900 members of the Yamaguchi group. But on the day of the funeral, 1300 followers from all over the country gathered in Kobe. About 800 riot police wearing helmets and shields were waiting around, and another 500 police searched everyone attending the funeral at the airport and railway station, including Japanese top star Gao Cangjian. Gao Cangjian became famous because of the Yamaguchi group's movie "The Net Walk to Prison", and played the role of Tiangang Gru himself in the trilogy of Tiangang Life.

After the funeral, 108 senior members voted to elect Takenaka as godfather. However, the second boss, Hiroshi Yamamoto, refused to cooperate. He called a press conference. He told the Japanese people that it was time to fight for the truth and officially announced: "I can't agree that Takenaka is the godfather of the Yamaguchi group. This is my sincere final decision. "

Two months later, Yamamoto and other senior members of 18 formed the "Yichuan" gang, taking away half the members of the Yamaguchi group. In order not to let Yamamoto overshadow himself, Takenaka held a more grand inauguration ceremony for a long time. More than 300 members attended, all of them were black suits, white collars and gold-plated help badges. In a Japanese hotel, the widow of the former godfather solemnly handed a dagger symbolizing supreme power to the new godfather.

It is very difficult to survive in Japanese gangs. 1In June, 1993, Masayoshi Komiya, a group leader of Inagawa Association, shot himself because he could not complete the quota of protection funds allocated by the organization. Before committing suicide, he called his mistress and said, "It is better to die and be humiliated than to be expelled from the organization because he can't borrow money." Three weeks later, a leader of the Yamaguchi group shot himself for the same reason.

The most arrogant drug trafficking group: Medellin

Pablo Escobar was selected as one of the seven richest men in the world by Fortune magazine, and his 40,000-strong private army is well equipped. His special plane is called "Lark". This kind of combat helicopter originally belonged to the Colombian navy, equipped with multiple rocket launchers and rattlesnake missiles, and was called "air tank". Escobar dispatched three fighter planes to land the lark at his airport and became his private jet.

Escobar is the most arrogant drug Lord in history. The policeman who arrested him was shot dead within three days; The judge who tried him, after his wife was gang-raped, the bra and underwear stained with semen were sent to the judge's office; The wanted Colombian Attorney General was arrested by him with a reward of 1 100 million dollars, and finally died in the street. 1987, his brother ochoa was arrested. The president of the Colombian Supreme Court, who was in charge of the trial, resigned one after another, and the Minister of Justice had to cancel the arrest warrant.

But in the eyes of local people, Escobar is a hero. "The Colombian people have finally picked up a powerful weapon against American imperialism. We are irresponsible to the 25 million drug addicts in American society!" Escobar said this in an interview with the media.

The American government has been trying to get rid of Escobar, which is not easy. 1In March, 984, under the command of American military advisers, 5,000 Colombian government troops took Hercules transport plane to the base camp of Medellin Group. With the air support of dozens of American F- 16 fighter planes and Apache helicopters, 50 drug traffickers/KLOC-0 were killed and thousands of people were captured.

However, Escobar's counterattack was also extremely sharp. Only 1 month later, Colombian anti-drug commander-Attorney General Lala was shot dead. In May, more than 50 drug dealers simply rushed into the building of the Colombian Ministry of Justice, trying to kidnap senior officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Procuratorate and the anti-drug police. More than 400 military and police officers struggled to resist, and the two sides once formed a stalemate. Subsequently, 300 drug dealers carrying surface-to-surface missiles came to reinforce. The fighting continued late into the night until the Colombian Defence Forces joined the fight. The drug dealer left with five judges and 1 police chief, leaving behind the bodies of 34 policemen and 1 1 judges.

1989, NASA used the most advanced "Dapeng" reconnaissance satellite and infrared thermal imager to determine the exact location of Medellin Group, and the Colombian government launched the largest anti-drug operation in history: 200 special forces trained by the United States directly parachuted into the tiger's den, surrounded by thousands of officers and men of the elite 14 brigade of the National Defence Force, cutting off the escape route by land and sea. Finally, 50 F-650 fighters were deployed. But Escobar and his men miraculously escaped and continued to entangle with the government forces.

199 1 year, the Colombian government accepted three conditions for enlistment: to ensure the legalization of his personal property; Punish the police who violate the human rights of drug dealers and their families; Build a special prison guarded by regular troops to ensure their life safety.

Gangs on the border: Mexican gangs

In May, 2003, US Customs found 80 stowaways from Mexico on a truck, of whom 18 had died of suffocation. This happens every day, and "snakeheads" from all over the world gather on the Mexican border. Those people of all colors who hold the American dream tirelessly break through and are expelled again and again. Statistics tell them that if there is no sudden death on the way, they can enter the rich United States with an average of seven adventures.

Drug trafficking is a reserved project on the US-Mexico border, and more than $654.38+0 billion of drugs enter the United States from here every year.

Kidnapping is a traditional game of Mexican gangs. The kidnapping case here ranks second in the world after Colombia. Kallet, the most wanted man arrested in 2000, made more than 20 major cases by himself, from the owner of Chrysler Automobile Company to the president of Presidential Hotel Group. As long as he was eyeing him, he never ran away. Even foreign ambassadors were robbed. In June 2002, King Carlos of Spain paid an official visit to Mexico. On the way of the Spanish ambassador to Mexico to meet the king at the airport, mobs robbed cars with Spanish flags and diplomatic license plates. Afterwards, the Spanish Embassy in Mexico said that they did not intend to report the case to the police because "it is a waste of time and there will be no result".

The six mafia families in Culiacan, Guadalajara, Juarez, matamoros, Sonora and Tijuana control the border with the United States for 3,200 kilometers, so they are full of thoughts. Organizers of drug dealers and illegal immigrants are happy to gather around them and share rich leftovers.

The Mexican government did not stand idly by. They have invited two "mafia bosses" as consultants. One is Giuliani, the former mayor of new york, and the other is Leo Luca Orlando, the former mayor of Palermo. But what about the result? Giuliani, who received a consulting fee of $4 million, believes that the preliminary results will be at least three years later.

Benefiting from the end of the cold war: Russian gangs

After the cold war, Russian gangs were finally free to learn skills from their foreign counterparts. The two sides appreciate each other and have a feeling of meeting each other for a long time. Russian gangs provide weapons to Nigeria, buy drugs from Colombia, cooperate with Italian mafia to launder money, and cooperate with Yamaguchi group in Japan to open up the pornographic market. Their attempt to sell nuclear materials has always been a nightmare for the US government. The director of the FBI believes that Russian gangs have replaced the former Soviet army and become a new threat to the European and American security systems.

In Russia, gangs control everything. Tokta Hornov, the "godfather of sports", not only manipulated the referee to order his players to win the doubles championship in Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, but also extended his hand to tennis. Kafirnikov, Safin and Kournikova openly admit that they are friends of the "godfather of sports", but they all refuse to elaborate. "I'm Russian and I'm going back there," explained the spice girl. The living can only keep silent, and the sports people who dare to say details are all dead. 1996, the general manager of Spartak professional ice hockey club was shot dead. In less than a year, the head of the Russian Ice Hockey Association went to hell. Two months later, the general manager of Moscow Spartak Football Club also met with Rebecca.

Internet prostitution is a sign that Russian gangs have entered the information age. Although there must be good women on the international dating website, if the recruiter is too glamorous, there is probably another mystery. According to Pravda, 70% of transnational marriages are controlled by Russian gangs. When a bride married to the United States is familiar with the local environment, she will call her sisters over and explore the local market together. Whether it is true or not is unknown, but there are many girls with bright eyes and white teeth on Russia's largest international dating website. If you are willing to pay $2,000, the website can arrange a "special" blind date trip for you.

The Capital of Crime-St. Petersburg

Russian President Vladimir Putin spent $654.38+0.5 billion to celebrate the "300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg", and 44 heads of state also came to join in. But in the eyes of local people, this is a "crime capital".

In the new round of conflict that broke out in 2000, carus, the president of Baltic Oil Company, was killed in the city center in broad daylight, and Walsmann, the 35-year-old number two in Russia's largest brewery, was also killed at home by mysterious professional gunmen. In 2002, St. Petersburg police seized more than 2,000 weapons, including 100 grenades and 2 1 machine guns. According to the local media, compared with the information held by criminal gangs, what the police seized was "not even the tip of the iceberg".

In this crime capital, it seems difficult for officials to be spotless. It is rumored that Vladimir Yakovlev, the mayor of St. Petersburg, was re-elected twice with the support of gangs. Even President Putin, who is known for his naivety, seems to be involved. According to the US Newsweek, US and European intelligence officials suspected that the Russian-German real estate development company in St. Petersburg was involved in underworld money laundering. Putin served on the company's advisory board during his tenure as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. Although there is no evidence that Putin has benefited from this company, these clues are still full of gangsters.

The notorious China gangster: the big circle gang

The earliest gangster in China was called a "hero". They have the right to be proud. Faced with the indifference of the police, they have no choice but to unite against the local black forces.

The first gang in China that appeared in police files was ABC (American-born China) in Chinatown in 1970s. ABC fought the mafia for three years, and the gambino family lost 37 right-hand men. According to the FBI's wiretapping recording of Paul gambino, the godfather thinks that the Mafia can no longer control Chinatown, so it is better to give up. ABC thus "liberated" Chinatown and gained a reputation in the underground society.

After losing the enemy of * * *, the internal conflict of ABC began and the civil war lasted for 10 years. It was not until 1985 that the American police succeeded in undercover and put all the bosses in prison at one stroke that Chinatown was restored to calm. But peace is short-lived, and conflict is the eternal theme. The failure of ABC provided another China gangster with a chance to rise rapidly, and smuggling and high-tech crimes became new oil and water in Chinatown.

The big circle gang is only a gang in the primary stage. It has no strict organizational structure, and its core members have many professional backgrounds. The big circle gang first became famous in Hong Kong, and then moved to North America and Australia with the tide of mainland immigrants.

In the early 1980s, the standard of big circle gang was "Black Star" (May 4th pistol). Although the black star has poor directivity (the distance of 25 meters can deviate from 20 cm) and the grip angle is not good (the muzzle is down when holding the stick normally, so the wrist should be upright), it has strong penetration and is extremely suitable for gang close combat. At that time, the bullet-proof vest of the Hong Kong police was definitely a single shot when it met the "black star". So the experienced Hong Kong police turned around and ran when they saw the "black star".

Canada is also the sphere of influence of the big circle. On the list of local organized crime investigation bureau, the big circle gang has surpassed the Lotus Gang and Vietnam Gang in Hong Kong and Taiwan to become the leader of Asian gangs. Together with the local hell angel, he controlled half of the drug wholesale market.

Big circle gangs are also famous in Australia. In 2002, the Australian police seized a drug trafficking case of hundreds of millions of dollars and found that 10 members of the big circle were suspected. They not only drove the Vietnamese "5T Party" out of Australia's Chinatown, but also launched a new round of opium war against local whites.

The Brain of the Underground World: American Jewish Gangs

Behind every successful man, there is a Jewish think tank. George W. Bush's brain trust is Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, while Luciano's Jewish brain trust is meyer lansky, who is the only foreigner who can attend the Mafia National Congress. Although he doesn't have the right to vote, Italian godfathers respect him because Lansky not only has brains, but also controls the financial revenue and expenditure of the mafia.

The friendship between Lansky and Luciano can be traced back to childhood. When Luciano charged the Jewish child protection fee, he got the answer: "Put your protection fee on your ass, I don't need it." From then on, they became friends. Apart from the same ambition and violence, they are all calm professional criminals. In the 1920s, Luciano and Lansky formed the "Seven Groups", which monopolized the private liquor market in new york. Luciano even killed his godfather marcela to keep his friendship with Lansky.

Under the planning of Lansky, Luciano gradually transformed the mafia full of thugs into a well-organized modern society. When Luciano was in prison, Lansky managed to rescue him; When Luciano was exiled to Sicily, Lansky became his representative in America.

However, the friendship between godfathers is based on strength. Although Luciano, who is far away from Sicily, still has a strong influence, remote command is not as good as being there. Lansky began to develop his power quietly, and an important measure was to invest in Las Vegas.

This suggestion was put forward by Lansky's childhood comrade-in-arms Benjamin Siegel; It was Lansky who was used to behind-the-scenes manipulation that prompted the Mafia National Committee to pass this proposal. 1943, Siegel began to build the first casino-Flamingo Hotel in the desolate town of Las Vegas. However, the opening of the hotel in 1946 was a complete failure, and $6 million was spent on Shui Piao. Even more deadly, Siegel's girlfriend Virginia Hill has an extra $500,000 in her Swiss account. This made Lansky and the Mafia very angry. He set aside $50,000 from the bankrupt hotel and sent away his creditors. At the same time, the Committee was urged to pass Siegel's death sentence.

Two years later, the hotel reopened. After the previous failure, the opening was a great success, earning $6.5438+0 million in the first year. In the 1940s, this was equivalent to a year's protection income of the mafia in new york. More and more hotels will lay golden eggs. By the 1960s, Lansky and his Jewish gang had 17 casinos in Las Vegas, while the mafia had only 1 1.

Lansky's greatness lies in his hiding behind the mafia. He has a share in all the income of the mafia; However, both the government and the police fell on the back of the mafia.

Arrogant Canadian Gangster: Angels of Hell

In the 1960s, a group of American hippies roaming around on high-powered motorcycles coined this term. These fat and rude guys with black fur coats and beards who never take a shower walked along the highway across North America, scaring many quiet towns and attracting many admirers to join them. In the 1980s, the "angels" who were tired of wandering set up the Hell Angels Gang in Canada, and now it has grown into the first gang in Canada. Headquartered in Montreal, it has about 40,000 members, mainly engaged in drug trafficking.

1995, Hell Angels and another big gang, Rolling Stone Machine, broke out in Quebec. The conflict lasted for seven years, and in the revenge of killing, both sides 160 people went to hell. Due to the growing discontent among the civilians, the Canadian police launched "200 1 Spring Action". More than 2,000 policemen arrested 100 "angels" overnight. The police hinted that if the two sides continue to fight, they will take more severe repression measures. The call for peace has produced results. On the afternoon of September 26th, 20001,the two sides held a closed-door meeting in a court in Quebec. It's quiet and safe there, no one can bring guns into the court, and the police anti-gang unit will not visit the court. Maurice Butscher, the godfather of Hell Angel, and Fred Temo, the boss of Rolling Stone Machine, each brought three assistants and reached a historic settlement in a solemn court. A spokesman for Quebec's security department later confirmed the news, but he stressed that the reconciliation between the two sides would not affect the police's crackdown on violence. However, since then, the Canadian police have never conducted large-scale anti-gang operations.

Underworld criminal activities threaten the whole world.

Gangs and triads in Hong Kong are considered to be the largest and most frightening organized criminal gangs in the world. This secret and well-organized gang has tentacles all over the world, engaging in illegal activities including drug trafficking, extortion, pornography, kidnapping, organized smuggling, all kinds of forgery and fraud, pirated videos, usury and gambling. According to an estimate by a western expert and writer, the underworld manipulates 90% of the heroin trade in the world. Because the gang is highly secretive, it is difficult to distinguish rumors from facts when studying the scope and extent of its activities. However, Martin Booth, the author of Ji Long Syndicate, tries to explore the gang culture of the underworld more deeply. He quoted the United Nations as saying that the underworld is the gang that people know poses the greatest potential threat to the world.

It existed in ancient times.

The origin of underworld can be traced back to the folk gang forces in ancient feudal society of China. In his book, Booth verified that the first "formal" underworld organization appeared in the 9th century. At that time, this secret gang mainly provided protection for wealthy families. The name "Trinity" is considered to represent the harmony between heaven, earth and people.

Early secret gangs mainly developed members on the basis of clan alliance, mutual protection and repayment of private debts or gratitude. On the basis of this gang, the underworld has developed continuously and has existed and lasted for centuries as a subculture organization. However, in the19th century, the imperial court in China began to adopt the policy of shoot-to-kill.

all over the world

With the continuous migration of Chinese to all parts of the world, the influence of the underworld is growing on a global scale. Triads have taken root in many countries, such as Holland, Malaysia, Australia and the United States. In Hong Kong alone, 50 gangs belong to triads. At present, it is said that there are four underworld gangs operating in Britain, and the largest one is called 14K.

In China, the influence of the underworld has been increasing in recent years. At the beginning of 2004, the government of China launched a campaign to crack down on organized criminal gangs, which allegedly arrested thousands of people who were considered to be members of the underworld.

In other countries in the world, it is also difficult for the local police to deal with the underworld forces that have penetrated into the local society, because this organization is usually only active in the Chinese community. Triad victims are often afraid to report to the local police for fear. Even if the witnesses of the incident provided testimony to the authorities, they often withdrew their testimony near the trial.

In recent years, it has opened up financial resources by developing pornography and drugs, and has vigorously "kicked the horse" to enhance its power. After years of operation in Tsuen Wan and Fanling, Sheung Shui is almost a "harmonious place". In Tsuen Wan, some "Fentou factories" under the guise of discos were controlled, selling soft drugs and white powder in old districts such as Dawokou, Kwai Shing and Wu Yang Road. The monthly income of Tsuen Wan and Kwai Kwai alone is estimated to be tens of thousands.

He Shenghe is also elected as "Leader" and "Scum" every two years. The last leader was a "Shanghai boy" who was active in Mong Kok. He was determined to develop karaoke, discos and pornographic places in Yau Tsim Mong District. Another big shot, Fu, also held many night shows in West Kowloon. The most active figures in Tsuen Wan are "One-eyed Boy" and "Double Eagle Green", while the representatives of Shangshui are "Baitouzai" and "Baitoufu" brothers. Relatively speaking, the current leader' La *' and the slag name' Hua' are both relatively high-profile. "La *" has recently made a splash in its own land, and its head horse is "Shi Bilong" Long Ge.

1996- 1998 sitting in the pavilion: number of black buttons on chicken feet: Fei Da.

1998-2000 Museum: Shanghai Children ID: Monocular Children

From 2000 to 2002, museums were occupied: number of complaints: peak signs.

In 2006-2008, the number of museums: Liuliu label.

Underworld generally refers to underworld criminal organizations composed of Chinese, including China, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Macau and Chinatown all over the world.

At present, there are nearly 50 active triad societies in Hong Kong, many of which are not large in scale. The biggest ones are Yi Xin 'an, Fourteen K and Heshenghe, which are similar to the mafia in western society.

The origin of the name

Triads originated from the Heaven and Earth Society. The triad is also called Hong Men, because the original intention of the triad is to "fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain sight", and the place where Zhu Yuanzhang of The Ming dynasty emperors "Hongwu" and the Heaven and Earth Society joined together is "Honghua Pavilion", so it was named "Hong Men" because of its "Hong". The word "Hong" is trivial, so the "brothers" in different societies are all commensurate with the "brothers" with three points of water.

sports

The Heaven and Earth Society was originally a political organization that opposed the Qing Dynasty and regained sight. They planned to overthrow the Manchu government and restore the rule of the Han people. Nowadays, the underworld has evolved into a criminal organization, participated in many organized criminal activities, and made huge profits from gambling, prostitution, pornography, drugs, intimidation and violence, and then used these profits to engage in illegal activities. As long as it is profitable, they won't care how despicable the crime is.

Traditionally, China people hang blue lanterns outside their houses after death, so the full name of "blue lanterns" is "hanging blue lanterns".

opening ceremony

In the early years, the triad initiation ceremony was complicated, but the trend is to simplify everything. In recent years, the triad initiation ceremony is no exception. In addition, in order to avoid being easily discovered and mastered by the police, the initiation ceremony of the new generation of triad members is also very simple.

Word generation help rules

Except for thirty-six oaths and seventy-two, there are four oaths, eight punishments and ten rules.

Contact clause

In gangs, there is a set of special fixed terms for revealing identity and secret communication, including poems, argots, gestures, special signs and so on. At present, many terms, gestures and secret codes of the underworld have changed or even been lost. I believe that many gang members have lost their understanding of ancient terms, gestures and codes.
