Die japanische Polizei hat in Osaka einen 37-Jährigen erneut festgenommen. Er soll Millionen aus Betrugsfällen gewaschen und Teil des anonymen Tokuryu-Netzwerks gewesen sein.
Formed by the characters for “anonymous” (tokumei) and “fluid” (ryūdo), the term #tokuryū refers to ad hoc groups formed to commit #crimes, where members often don’t know each other or those planning and directing their activities. They are distinct from the #yakuza and less hierarchical, usually with loose organisational structures.
