A term used to describe people who are outside of the law and profiting themselves. A few great examples of these people would be Al Capone, Momo (Sam Giancana), and of course Vito Corleone (The Godfather). If you belong to the mafia you are a mafioso or a mobster!
Do you work for the mafia?
The mafia owns almost everything in the world.

The real mafia is from Sicily. It was started in thousands of years ago when people stuck together to fight off the frequent invaders form other areas of the world. The mafia was origionally sicilian and has been copied by many other nationalities but the biggest mafia presence in the world and America has and always will be the Italian Mafia.
