Cosa Nostra is a Sicilian mafia-type criminal organization based in Italy, primarily in Sicily, with international branches. It originated in the 19th century and became known for its violent activities and influence. The Italian state intensified countermeasures in the 1980s, leading to the deaths of prominent anti-mafia magistrates. It remains active today.
CRIMENET has extracted 247 linkages for this organization, including 182 cooperative ties across 88 organizations, 21 conflicts across 12 organizations, 44 other connections and footprints in 7 countries.
The leader is suspected of previously sending members of his organization to Karlsruhe and Cologne in Germany.
By the 20th century, wide-scale emigration from Sicily led to the formation of mafiosi-style gangs in other countries, in particular in the United States, where its offshoot, the American Mafia, was created.
