Taiwan's Biggest Ever Mafia Funeral
Organized crime is big in Taiwan, judging by the attendance at the funeral of top mob boss Lee Chao-hsiung. The funeral drew prominent politicians, Buddhist monks, TV variety show celebrities, and foreign dignitaries. Guests included more than ten legislators, dozens of mayors, county magistrates, and councillors, including Taichung's Mayor Jason Hu, a former foreign minister. Mr Lee died of liver cancer at the age of 73. The 108-car funeral procession conveying his body to a crematorium included a Rolls Royce hearse, Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs. Female models carried signs announcing each delegation. It was believed to be the island's biggest ever gangster funeral, with more than 20,000 attending and lines of spectators stretching for more than a mile. http://mafiatoday.com/general-breaking-news/politicians-gangsters-mix-at-funeral-for-taiwan-mafia-boss/
