Скачать или смотреть Sumo's DIRTY Secret: The Yakuza Connection Exposed - Sumo Wrestling & Yakuza

For centuries, sumo wrestling has been revered as a sacred Shinto ritual, yet behind the scenes, it served as a lucrative business for Japan's organized crime syndicates. This documentary uncovers the deep-rooted alliance between stable masters and the Yakuza that operated in the shadows for generations until a massive scandal broke the silence.

We examine the devastating match-fixing investigations that forced the historic cancellation of the Grand Tournament and the illegal gambling rings that ensnared top-ranked wrestlers. The analysis traces the flow of illicit money from prestigious ringside seats to prison cells and evaluates how modern anti-gang laws in 2026 have forced corruption to evolve into new, less visible networks known as Tokuryu. Viewers will learn how simple text messages dismantled the myth of the honorable fight and why experts believe the cleanup efforts may have only pushed the problems deeper underground.

This channel explores the hidden history of sports and global organized crime.
