Category:Fictional Mafia crime families: Difference between revisions

Fictional Mafia crime families. A crime family is a unit of an organized crime syndicate, particularly in the Mafia (both in Sicily and in the United States), often operating within a specific geographic territory. In its strictest sense, a family (or clan) is a criminal gang, operating either on a unitary basis or as an organized collection of smaller gangs (e.g., cells, factions, crews, etc.). In turn, a family can be a sole “enterprise”, or part of a larger syndicate or cartel.
