The Mafia Hierarchy 🕵️♂️💼: Structure and Rank within the Cosa Nostra
Within a mafia organization, such as the Sicilian mafia (Cosa Nostra), there is a clear hierarchical structure that determines how the organization is run and how decisions are made. Here is an explanation of the rank within a typical mafia organization:
Capofamiglia (Head of Family): This is the highest position in the mafia family. The capofamiglia, also known as “Don”, is responsible for making important decisions and leading the entire organization. The head of the family is respected and obeyed by all members of the family. 👑
Sotto capo (Underboss): The underboss is directly under the family head and acts as the second in command. The sotto capo helps carry out the family head's orders and can be temporarily in charge when the head of the family is absent or unable to function. 🤵♂️💼
Caporegime (Captain): A capo regime is a captain responsible for a group of mafia members, also known as a “crew”. This crew can include “soldiers” (regular members) and “associates” (unofficial members who work with the mafia). The capo regime reports to the underboss and executes orders on behalf of the head of the family. 🎩💪
