Mafia [(mah-fee-uh)] A criminal organization that originated in Sicily and was brought to the United States by Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth century. The Mafia is also called the Syndicate, the Mob, and the Cosa Nostra (Our Thing).
Of course, the Mafia isn't what it once was: a power structure capable of influencing national politicians and making historic heists at major transportation centers. But the FBI maintains that La Cosa Nostraâthe sprawling group originally steered by Sicilian immigrants that we hear about most oftenâis the foremost organized criminal threat to American society.
