Irish mob

The Irish mob refers to organized crime groups with roots in Irish-American communities, historically involved in illegal activities like gambling, bootlegging, extortion, and bootlegging during Prohibition. These groups operated in cities such as New York, Boston, and Chicago, often forming hierarchical structures similar to other crime organizations. While their influence has waned over time, they are historically significant in shaping the landscape of American organized crime. Their operations typically combined local community ties with illicit endeavors, often leading to conflicts with rival groups and law enforcement.
