Gambino family

The Gambino family is an organized crime group belonging to the American Mafia, specifically the Sicilian-American segment known as La Cosa Nostra. Based in New York City, it has historically been one of the most powerful and influential Mafia families in the United States. Their activities have included illicit enterprises such as gambling, loan sharking, extortion, and labor racketeering. Leadership has changed over time due to law enforcement actions, but the family remains a symbol of organized crime's presence in America. They operate with a structured hierarchy and code of conduct typical of Mafia organizations.
