周二，纽约一家法院判处日本黑帮成员61岁的EBISawa武志20年监禁，罪名包括走私核材料、毒品和武器。
自2022年4月起，EBISawa与泰国同案被告Somphop Singhasiri因毒品和武器指控被监禁，美国缉毒局（DEA）经过多年调查后提起诉讼。
2024年2月，他还被指控试图向伊朗出售军用级核材料，同时走私海洛因和甲基苯丙胺等毒品，以购买包括地对空导弹在内的武器，提供给缅甸武装组织。
检察官称，2021年至2022年期间，EBISawa不知自己正与DEA的线人及其伪装成伊朗将军的同伙进行沟通。2022年4月，他在曼哈顿参与DEA设局时被捕。
司法部周一表示：”EBISawa最初提出提供铀，随后提议为伊朗提供比铀’更优’、’更强效’的’钚’。”

法院文件显示，美国检察官称EBISawa是日本臭名昭著的山口组黑帮头目。2020年，他向DEA线人表示自己可获取大量核材料并计划出售，为证明所言非虚，他向线人发送了配有盖革计数器测量辐射的岩石状物质照片，声称含有钍和铀。
检察官称，这些核材料来自缅甸一名身份不明的”民族叛乱组织”头目，该头目在该国开采铀矿。法院文件指控，EBISawa提议通过自己将铀卖给该头目，以资助从伊朗将军处购买武器。
检察官称，所谓核材料样本已被获取，美国联邦实验室检测发现其中含有铀、钍和武器级钚，且”钚同位素组成符合武器级标准”——意味着足够量即可用于制造核武器。2024年，检察官公布了EBISawa据称发送的核材料照片。

检察官还指控EBISawa密谋向卧底特工出售500公斤甲基苯丙胺和500公斤海洛因，计划在纽约分销；同时涉嫌洗钱10万美元，将毒品收益从美国转移至日本。
2025年1月，EBISawa对六项罪名全部认罪。
美国司法部国家安全局助理检察长John Eisenberg表示：”EBISawa为其罪行付出了代价，包括试图向伊朗出售武器级钚，并试图向纽约倾销致命毒品。”

U.S. court convicts Japanese mafia leader for conspiring to traffic nuclear material to Iran
Updated on: March 4, 2026 / 6:35 AM EST / CBS/AFP
A member of Japan’s yakuza crime group was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a New York court on Tuesday after being convicted of trafficking nuclear material as well as drugs and weapons.
Takeshi Ebisawa, 61, has been jailed since April 2022 on the drug and weapons charges, along with his Thai co-defendant Somphop Singhasiri, following years of investigations by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
In February 2024, he was also accused of trying to sell military-grade nuclear material, along with narcotics including heroin and methamphetamine, to buy weapons including surface-to-air missiles for armed groups in Myanmar.
Prosecutors saidEbisawa didn’t know he was communicating in 2021 and 2022 with a confidential source for the DEA along with the source’s associate, who posed as an Iranian general. Ebisawa was arrested in April 2022 in Manhattan during a DEA sting.
“After initially offering uranium, Ebisawa proposed to supply the General with ‘plutonium’ that would be even ‘better’ and more ‘powerful’ than uranium for Iran’s use,” the Justice Department said on Monday.

Court papers said Ebisawa — who U.S. prosecutors say is a leader of Japan’s notoriousYakuzamafia — told the DEA’s confidential source in 2020 that he had access to a large quantity of nuclear materials that he wanted to sell. To support his claim, he sent the source photographs depicting rocky substances with Geiger counters measuring radiation, claiming they contained thorium and uranium, the papers said.
The nuclear material came from an unidentified leader of an “ethnic insurgent group” in Myanmar who had been mining uranium in the country, prosecutors said. Ebisawa had proposed that the leader sell uranium through him in order to fund a weapons purchase from the general, court documents allege.
Prosecutors said samples of the alleged nuclear materials were obtained and a U.S. federal lab found they contained uranium, thorium and plutonium, and that the “the isotope composition of the plutonium” was weapons-grade, meaning enough of it would be suitable for use in a nuclear weapon.
In 2024,prosecutors posted photosof the purported nuclear materials allegedly sent by Ebisawa.

Prosecutors also allege Ebisawa conspired to sell 500 kilograms of methamphetamine and 500 kilograms of heroin to an undercover agent to be distributed in New York. He also allegedly worked to launder $100,000 in purported narcotics proceeds from the U.S. to Japan.
He pleaded guilty to a total of six charges in January 2025.
“Takeshi Ebisawa has been held accountable for his crimes, including an attempt to sell weapons-grade plutonium to Iran and to flood New York with deadly narcotics,” said John Eisenberg, the assistant attorney general for national security.
