Cosa Nostra
In Europe there is the Sicilian Cavallaro Mafia (the original group), the Neapolitan Camorra, and the youngest faction, the Nuovo Mafia. In the state of Italy, both the Sicilian Mafia and Camorra have become legitimate political parties. The Sicilian Mafia from Palermo rules the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, plus the southwestern tip of Italy. They have kept the corporations mostly out of Sicily. In turn the Camorra from Naples rules the rest of southern Italy and has basically sold itself to the corporations. Recently a new group emerged in Italy, called the Nuovo Mafia which is an anti-corporation resistance group that finances its operations via robberies, kidnapping for ransom, and the drug trade.
The Mafia organizations in Europe are involved in a variety of criminal activities. Which include smuggling, gambling, protection rackets, and so on. In the Mediterranean Sea there are a number of Mafia groups participating in the extensive smuggling in that area. Unlike the Triads who are concerned about their communities and invest a lot of their profits back into the community, some of the Mafia groups act like the Yakuza and Sudams showing no concern for their communities and focused only on profit.
The drug trade is still frowned on in the Major Mafia families.
