I agree with you, but to be clear, are you referring to the Mafia based in Italy/Sicily (not in the U.S.)? That is the bigger, more powerful "Italian mafia." When people say Italian mafia it seems like they always refer to the US-based mafia (5 families). That mafia definitely still has a presence, but on a global scale the Italian mafia (based in Italy) has a much larger presence. Every few months, I see links on CNN about their crime activity.
