Japanese Mafia send The View gifts

Japanese crime lords have apparently been sending members of The View gifts in the post.

The Dundonian group were banned from the country after frontman Kyle Falconer was convicted of cocaine possession in 2007.

Falconer told The Sun: "We're blacklisted but the Japanese Mafia keep sending us presents. It's mainly clothes but it's actually cool high-quality stuff. I got a Fred Perry T-shirt and Kieren (Webster) got a nice belt."

The band, who are hopeful of being granted entry to the US so that they can tour, release new LP Which Bitch? and single 'Shock Horror' on Monday.
