Mafia (MAFIA)

By Isla Peters

The term "mafia" refers to organized criminal networks bound by a strict code of loyalty, secrecy, and hierarchy. Originating in 19th-century Sicily, the Mafia initially emerged as local groups providing protection and enforcement in communities lacking effective governance. Over time, these groups evolved into powerful syndicates involved in illicit activities such as extortion, smuggling, drug trafficking, and money laundering.

The Mafia operates with a rigid structure, typically led by a boss or "Don," supported by underbosses, advisors (consiglieres), captains (caporegimes), and soldiers who execute the organization's operations. Associates, while not official members, assist in various illegal enterprises.
