<p>The “oyabun” or leader of the <a href="https://gangstersinc.org/profiles/blogs/yakuza-overview" target="_blank">Kudokai Yakuza clan</a> was sentenced to death on Tuesday after his underlings murdered one civilian and wounded three others. 74-year-old Satoru Nomura plans to appeal the ruling since there is no direct evidence that he ordered the attacks.</p>
<p>The attacks occurred between 1998 and 2014. Kudokai gangsters shot to death a former head of a fishing cooperative, and wounded three others. Among them a former police officer, who was shot in the leg in 2012 and a nurse, who was stabbed in 2013, prosecutors allege, because Nomura felt she had not treated him well at the clinic where she worked.</p>

<p>The judge, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japan-gang-boss-sentenced-death-after-group-members-attacked-civilians-2021-08-24/" target="_blank">Reuters</a>, “said strict controls were in place at the Kudokai crime syndicate, and it was unthinkable that the attacks had been carried out without the leader's authorization.”</p>
<p>Nomura’s underboss was sentenced to life in prison on the same charges.</p>
