Authorities are seriously cracking down on the yakuza. Now, companies that have relations with yakuza can neither receive bank loans nor be listed. Social pressure on yakuza is growing.

It's certainly good news that the fight against the Yakuza is taken seriously. Nonetheless, how can the above conform with the rule of law? Either the company is involved in illegal activities, then authorities can directly crack down on them. If not, on what basis can authorities deny listing on the stock exchange or put them on lists of companies not to do business with? How can arbitrary acts be avoided?
