The Gambino Crime Family

The Gambino Crime Family is one of New York City's most infamous organized crime groups, part of the Italian-American Mafia. It operates through a structured hierarchy, engaging in illegal activities like drug trafficking, extortion, and loan sharking. Historically led by notorious figures such as Carlo Gambino, the family maintains influence through secrecy, intimidation, and corruption. While outwardly involved in legitimate businesses, its core functions are criminal, aiming to generate profit and maintain power within the underground world. The FBI has targeted the family for decades, leading to arrests and dismantling efforts, though its influence persists covertly.
