Police arrest illegal porn dealers
The Japanese press is reporting it as the largest seizure of illegal porn ever:
Police arrested 53-year-old Takahiro Oyama and 10 others for the attempted distribution of nearly 133,000 pornographic DVDs and videocassettes, a police official said.
Oyama told police he made 1.56 billion yen (14.4 million dollars) in five years of selling sex tapes through the Internet and via mail order, according to public broadcaster N-H-K.
Police said they were investigating whether Oyama and his colleagues had any links to gangs.
Some 5,000 of the confiscated DVDs have been classified as child pornography.
