Yes, Italian mafia organizations, including the Sicilian Mafia (Cosa Nostra), 'Ndrangheta, and Camorra, still exist and continue to operate today. While their influence has diminished due to law enforcement efforts, they remain involved in various illegal activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. Modern technology and global connections have also allowed these groups to adapt and maintain their power, albeit in different forms than in the past.
The Italian Mafia aka La Cosa Nostra doesn't have a problems with Mexican or Hispanics in general, neither do they have a problem with people of any other race. As a matter of fact there are some Latinos, Blacks & even Asians in the Italian Mafia. *The Italian Mafia shows respect to everyone who shows respect to them it doesn't matter ur race.
"I still like you!" in English is Mi piaci ancora! in Italian.
Yeah, they are, but they aren't as powerful like they once were in the past.
There is an Italian mafia presence in Argentina, especially the Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia. The boss of the Neapolitan Camorra was hiding in the Patagonias for years before he was caught. The brother of Tomasso Buscetta, the famous Sicilian turncoat, was murdered in front of his ice scream parlor in Buenos Aires when his brother became an informant. Argentina is more like a sanctuary for many Italian born mobsters due to the fact that many have relatives in Argentina.
It's difficult to make a direct comparison between the Jewish and Italian mafia in terms of danger, as both have operated in different contexts and periods. The Italian mafia, particularly organizations like the Mafia, Camorra, and 'Ndrangheta, are often more widely known for their extensive criminal operations and violent tactics. Meanwhile, Jewish organized crime has historically been less visible, but it has also been involved in significant criminal enterprises. Ultimately, the level of danger associated with either group can vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances and activities at play.
You say stuff like-We're family Where's the moneyAlso sound kind with an underlying threatAnd speak in a thick Italian accent
While not as strong as years past, the Mafia is still alive. They are more "underground" now. John Gotti exposed the mob too much with his star like persona, and all his talk being recorded. The mafia still controls many labor unions, truck hijckings, and has gone to the internet as well. Major credit card scams, and stolen merchandise is big buisness for them. The mafia has learned how to "lay low" now......But they`re still out there.
This is coming from someone who's 25% Italian. Some of it comes from our tempers. But a lot of that's exagerated in movies like Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Midnight Run, and Goodfellas. Look at video games like Grand Theft Auto and Mafia.
There are many men that have been associated with the Italian Mafia over the years. Most used names were Anthony (Tony), Vincent (Vinnie), John, Nick, and Paul (Paulie).
The enemies of the Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, include law enforcement agencies, particularly the Italian police and Carabinieri, as well as anti-Mafia magistrates and prosecutors like Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, who have worked tirelessly to dismantle the organization. Additionally, rival criminal organizations, such as the 'Ndrangheta from Calabria and the Camorra from Naples, can also be considered enemies, as they compete for control over illegal activities. Political figures who oppose Mafia influence and activists promoting anti-Mafia movements also represent threats to the Mafia's operations.
To jail. Thanks to technological addiction the FBI was able to pretty much put the mafia out of commision. The remainder does very little and mostly operates in New York and Chicago. but don't be fooled. the mafia is still around and their worth even today is 100's of millions of dollars. If the FBI drops their guard the mafia will spread like wildfire.
actually that's quite a ridiculous answer this guy obviously doesnt know anything about Polish organized crime, first of all their is and has been a mafia in Poland for a very long time, and is not at best a handful of gangs like the idiot said. look upRiccardo Fanchini (Ryszard Marian Kozina) born in Katowice Poland to a Polish mother and an Italian father
