1987. Woman wears a wire as agent tries to recruit her for Yakuza night club

“…in every forest there is a snake. Same thing with the Yakuza.”

1987. Geraldo Rivera as part of his ‘New Godfathers’ special sheds light on the seedy underworld of gang-controlled sex clubs. We speak with ‘Tiffany’, who answered a newspaper ad and agreed to work with the show. She wears a wire while meeting with her contact, who is attempting to recruit her for work in the sex clubs. Geraldo confronts the man.

“The definition of hostess over there, is different from what we commonly call hostess here…”

Both night clubs and the Yakuza still exist today in 2025.
