Inside the Yakuza’s Human Trafficking Empire | United Gangs of America

This clip from United Gangs of America exposes how the Yakuza operate one of the world’s most sophisticated human trafficking and sex trafficking networks. Law enforcement experts explain how young women are recruited overseas with promises of modeling or entertainment jobs, only to be trafficked into Japan, stripped of their passports, and forced into sexual exploitation under violent debt bondage. The episode follows the true story of Marcella Loaiza, who was recruited out of Colombia and trafficked into Tokyo, where she was forced to work under constant surveillance by organized crime. United Gangs of America examines how global crime syndicates—including the Yakuza, Russian, Chinese, and other organized groups—intertwine to fuel a trillion-dollar human trafficking economy operating in plain sight. #yakuza #gangculture #vice Follow VICE TV: Website | https://www.vicetv.com Channel Finder | https://www.vicetv.com/en_us/channel-finder Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/vicetv Twitter | https://x.com/vicetv Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vicetv TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@viceontv Inside the Yakuza’s Human Trafficking Empire | United Gangs of America https://youtu.be/bVVfBvVrdmY
