The Messina Brothers were five Maltese brothers who led a criminal organization in London from the 1930s to the 1950s, primarily involved in prostitution. They were based in Soho, London, and operated a network of brothels, importing women from Europe. The organization was founded by their father Giuseppe Messina in the early 1900s in Malta and Egypt, and the brothers expanded operations in London after being expelled from Egypt in 1932. They were eventually prosecuted and disbanded in the 1950s.
