Investigation of Japanese Mafia in Mexico
(Mexico City) Mexican authorities have opened an investigation to determine if the Yakuza, or Japanese mafia, are involved in trafficking of drugs to Japan. It began with the arrest of Eriko Kuratomi (51), known as ‘The Casio’, the network leader. He lived in Guadalajara, and recruited women in the capital to smuggle the cocaine inside their bodies. The women were met at the Narita airport, taken elsewhere and delivered the drugs. His capture occurred when three women transporting drugs in their genitals were caught at the airport.

I recall reading about her a couple months back here on FR. Common consensus was she was a dead woman walking.
She had guts though.
Does that mean that these killings were done by vigilantes — representatives of the larger society?
why stop there move on to DC and assange
Somebody's been watching too much hollywood.
I was wondering how long she'd last. Sorry to hear this.
Power in Mexico is shifting hard to the cartels. We have a failed narco-state on our southern border. If we think we've been inundated with border jumpers up to now, we haven't seen anything yet.
