They are far from extinct though, and still have some significant profit streams. There are no more Lucky Lucianos or Carlo Gambinos out there today.
Guys that wise know that being a mafia boss is the wrong choice in this new high tech surveillance era. A mafia family the way Lucky designed could not exist in that form today. Those layers of protection end up becoming extra risk in this landscape. In any ways, the American mafia has slowly come undone. Their core strategies would need to be altered significantly to slow the decline. They once had massive political influence and that appears to be gone for the most part.
The RICO law was designed to eat the mafia chain structure from the bottom up and it did. Mafia Family Structure Mafia refers to a Sicilian born tradition of organized crime operating by way of a syndicate complete with a solid hierarchy. Boss — Calls all the shots and gets a cut of every operation in the family. Of course this position is universal to any type of organized crime mob.
Underboss — Usually the busiest man in the crime family, the underboss is the second in command and often runs the day to day operations with the captains. John Gotti is a prime example with his rants about Sammy Gravano. Consigliere — The third in command who plays the role of advisor for the boss and liaison for the captains. The consigliere often mediates inner family disputes between separate crews. Some experts, including Michael Franzese feel the position is jaded because the consigliere is going to be only loyal to the boss.
The consigliere is exclusive to the Italian mafia. Mafia is a term that refers to a criminal organization that originated in Sicily, Italy in the 19th century. The firsts of the Mafia groups or gangs were extended families that engaged in illegal activities and extorted money in lieu of protection they provided to common people. Members of this organized crime syndicate took pride in calling themselves men of honor and each group had control of some territory where it operated.
People and law enforcing authorities referred to such clans or families as Mafia. With the passage of time, the term mafia has become generic in nature and is today applied to all groups or gangs that engage in illegal activities and have a particular modus operandi and close knit structure involving family members.
Mafia in US was a result of immigration of families from Sicily in Italy to the country. Though extortion was the main activity of the Mafiosi in earlier times, such crime syndicates are today involved with many different illegal activities such as prostitution, smuggling, and drug trafficking to name a few. The thing to remember in the case of Mafia is that the syndicate has a strong control exercised by a patriarch, and it has strong connections with officials in positions of authority.
