The Kyoto prefectural police on Friday arrested Yukio Tanaka, a member of the Kudo-kai crime syndicate who is currently in prison, on suspicion of fatally shooting the 72-year-old president of a gyoza restaurant chain in 2013.

Tanaka, 56, is serving a 10-year sentence in Fukuoka Prison for a firearms-related offense. He was arrested by the Fukuoka prefectural police in June 2018 for shooting at a car carrying an employee of a construction firm in the prefectural capital.
