Also Al capone was not a part of the Sicilian mafia. He was a Gangster and a Mob boss. and his parents were from salerno which is closer to Naples than it is Sicily.

[@mafia_dave32]

Sicilian and American mafia are two different things .

[@basitk12]

Carlo gambino was Sicilian, lucky Luciano was Sicilian and Paul Castillano too

[@GeoBuff-yk4bk]

Faran Fadaei The Mafia was originally in Sicily, but was brought to the U.S. in the late 19th century. Rules changed. You don’t have to be Sicilian to be apart of the Mafia (originated in Sicily). Look at Vito Genovese. He was from Naples but had his own family, along with the Sicilians

[@ryanscott1849]

They aren't two entirely separate things. Luciano being from Sicily himself brought there rules and rankings and everything with it over to America after he came boss of bosses when he took out Joe massaria in the 20's

Donald Trump is a front man for the Italian Mafia which are controlled by the Italian Nobility. The Gaetani dell'Aquila d'Aragona family of Italy have a portion of ownership over the Gambino crime syndicate which is still managed by the Gotti family today. Gotti means Goth. The Gaetani family take that name from the town of Gaeta which has older origins from the tribe of Getae who were related with the Goths. They are two similar and separate tribes that have intermixed through out history. The name dell'Aquila is from L'Aquila Italy where the Gaetani family governed as princes. The Goths also settled in Gaeta and L'Aquila after there invasion around the 6th century and there is Gothic architecture in both of these towns. Salvatore "Toto" D'Aquila was a boss of what later became the Gambino crime family. The name Gambino derives from the Greek word Campe which means crooked and in Italian can also mean leg. This is where the terms crooks and bootleggers come from. Gambino also influenced the English words gambling and gaming. The Italian Mafia and Jewish Mafia run the casinos which are rigged. They use the casinos to launder their criminal profits. Donald Trump purchased property from the mafia hitman Salvatore Testa to build his casino in Atlantic City. Donald Trump used Roy Cohn as an attorney who also worked for former Gambino boss John Gotti and former Genovese boss Tony Salerno. Ivana Trump dated Roffredo Gaetani d'Aragona who is the hidden top boss of the Gambino crime family.

Rusty Alcorta No 1980 the maffia existed much longer but the Sicilian police only found out in the 1980 that the maffia was called the cosa nostra because of a pentito called tomaso who his statements were used in the maxi processo To convict more than 400 maffiosi at the Same time one of them was a belva (the beast) Salvatore (toto) rina who was the first sicilian maffia bos who broke the code and started kidnap childran woman and kill woman and children. This al happened because toto started a war for power in Palermo were more than 2000 people died in 2 years and If You asced people before the 1980 If they new the maffia 80 % would tell You No And 19 % would tell You is was a legend Made up To controle the fear of sicilian people

[@jeffreywilliams13]

While I have to agree with some of the other comments that this is a strange subject to include on this channel. But in the early days of n the Mafia they did not deal in drugs they only got into drugs trade because they controlled many of the smuggling networks. The US Army collaborated with the mafia during the Second World War to utilize these smuggling networks. Some of the older members felt drugs were too destructive so would not allow the sale of drugs in their communities. First they assisted in the distribution of narcotics for a fee; then some members seeing the large amounts of profits being made, they slowly got in on the trade distribution and sales.

[@bojabang2188]

The Mafia was infamous for importing poppy from the east and processing it in Sicily starting in the 60s, leading to it's downfall.

16. The mafia ( Sicilian Mafia)was formed because they were ostrictize, targeted and subjugated by light or the lighter skin population ( Sicilians being darker due to African ancestry). Also, a great portion of Sicilians do not consider themselves Italians, just Sicilians.
