Many of Akitsu's Yakuza gangs would now be involved in what the fascists are desperately trying to call their secret police (though some of their activities wouldn't exactly be all that secret).
That said, not every gang would've joined this effort. Those gangs that refused to join the secret police would still continue their previous activities.
Now the Akitian Yakuza do care very much about their image. There's a reason why they prefer to be called (and in fact call themselves) "任侠団体" (ninkou dantai) meaning "chivalrous way" or "極道" (gokudou) meaning "highest way". As such, not all of them would take part in drug or human trafficking (some would, but others would explicitly forbid their members from taking part in such activities). They'd get most of their money from extorting businesses, though they themselves would consider their actions to be a form of tax collection (since in times of dire need they will provide help to communities, such as after a massive earthquake or tsunami). They'd also make a butload of cash from things like loan sharking and illegal gambling.
Obviously prior to the coup, Akitian police would have been trying to contain them (though they would've been hampered by the legal situation in Akitsu). After the coup though, well the ones that joined the secret police would probably be waging an active gang war against those that didn't.
