Japan -- Three gangsters have been arrested by police in Tokyo. The men are held on suspicion of attempting to extort money from a former sumo wrestler named Kyokushuzan.
The 34-year-old Mongolian, whose real name is Daver Batobayal, is reportedly saying his problems with the three were part of the reason behind his retirement.
Citing heart problems, the wrestler suddenly retired as komusubi, sumo's fourth highest rank in November.
The three are suspected of threatening the wrestler at three meetings in Tokyo in autumn 2006. The gangsters allegedly attempted to extort money over a mine development project in Mongolia in which an acquaintance of Batobayal was involved.
