    Another fact. In order to be in the Mafia you have to be 100% Italian or Sicilian. If you are, like me, part Italian, you can only be an associate. That's what Henry Hill was in Goodfellas.
    However, Capone did not have strictures. His mob included part Italians, Jews, and others. He did not place as much emphasis on blood as the Five Families. As a result he was not really trusted like the Detroit and Buffalo branches of the Mafia.

      @victorcheng1544 Před 8 lety +17

      It'd be interesting to see true mob members to have their DNA tested to show them what else they acc are.

      depending on the family you can actrually be half italian but it has to be through your father side and theres been a loosening of the rules since about the mid 90s

    • @wolverineeagle
      @wolverineeagle Před 8 lety +17

      +Victor Cheng Initially that was not necessary as most Italians lived in concentrated pockets where they married other Italians. But as the years progressed and Italians mated with non-Italians this pure blood requirement has become more difficult fulfill.

    • @wolverineeagle
      @wolverineeagle Před 8 lety +6

      +gabriel j In the old days it was always pure blood, but what you say makes sense in modern times as Italians have intermarried with the rest of the populace. Italians of undiluted heritage have become rarer.

    People in general talk about "Mafia" as being a single, gigantic organization. In fact in Italy and all over the world there are hundreds or even thousands of organized criminal groups exploiting many illegal fields. And at times criminal organizations fight each other for the control of a given territory or activity. Regards

      @Eminem12378 Před 8 lety

      The Mafia is not any one specific group of people, it's an ideal, a way of life. These ideals were set by Charles "Lucky" Luciano. So yes he was Mafia because of the way his organization operated but he wasn't part of the Italian "Mob" if that's what you're asking.

    The legend says that the 'ndrangheta, Camurra, and mafia were vested by Osso, Mastrosso, and Carcagnosso whom each settled in Naples Calabria, and Sicily where they each originated. Apparently, these men were brothers. They were also Spanish knights involved with the inquisition. They were like a secret society and organized crime at the same time.

  • @bandwagon22
    @bandwagon22 Před 7 lety

    Mafia has never earned such hordes of money as claimed by mainstream media pundits. For instance quite new Italian study debunked the claim of €150 bn revenues. Instead that critical well done study by Transcrime suggest that organized crime revenues were annually 8.6-13 €bn (average about €10.7 bn). There are good reasons to estimate that Mafia generally get revenues of 0.5 - 1.0 million € per full member. Another critical study estimated that US LCN earned less than 3 billion dollars.

    The _Mafia_ is Sicilian, Costra Nostra (which means "our thing" or "this thing of ours") is the name for both the original Sicilian and the American versions, as the members refer to the organization. "La Cosa Nostra" (which literally would mean "the our thing") doesn't make grammatical sense and was coined by the FBI
