Japan arrests Iranian drug boss
UPI
Tokyo, Japan, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Japanese authorities have arrested the Iranian boss of a drug-smuggling group that allegedly hired some 1,000 of his countrymen to peddle hashish in Japan.
The Yomiuri Shimbun reported Tuesday that police arrested Mahmoud Kadkhodaei, 40, on Oct. 4 at an Iranian restaurant in Tokyo. Kadkhodaei had gone to the restaurant to pick up two kilograms of hashish sent by international mail from Nepal. The drugs were hidden among 290 cassette tapes packed in cardboard boxes.
Kadkhodaei reportedly hired Iranians who had overstayed their visas as dealers. If they did not obey his orders, he would slash them with a large knife, and was known by the dealers as the "king of fear."
Anyone want to guess which restaurant?
