manhattan - A prominent member of the Japanese mafia has pleaded guilty to attempting to trade nuclear material for weapons, specifically for the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

A prominent member of the Japanese mafia, Takeshi Ebisawa, aged sixty, confessed to attempting to trade nuclear material for weapons, specifically for the Iranian nuclear weapons program. Ebisawa, a member of the Yakuza, faces a potential life sentence.

The acting U.S. attorney Edward Kim stated that Ebisawa admitted in court to shamelessly smuggling nuclear material, including plutonium for weapons, from Myanmar. The Japanese man also confessed to drug trafficking, including heroin and methamphetamine, to the United States in exchange for heavy weapons such as rockets.

Ebisawa was arrested after years of operation when he unknowingly communicated with an undercover source from the American Drug Enforcement Administration and his partner, who posed as an Iranian general. Ebisawa claimed to have access to a large amount of nuclear material and supported his claim by sharing photos of rocky substances with Geiger counters measuring radiation.

The material allegedly came from an unknown leader of a rebel group in Myanmar. The leader of that group was said to be selling uranium through Ebisawa to acquire the aforementioned weapons. Samples of the alleged nuclear materials were analyzed by an American laboratory, confirming the presence of uranium, thorium, and plutonium.

The sentencing is set for April 9th.
