The Mafia Hierarchy

Boss The boss makes all the important decisions, much like a CEO of a company would. Although each mob boss may run his outfit in a different way, they have one thing in common: they are greatly respected and widely feared by their subordinates. All of the men in his outfit pay him a tribute, so he is also usually an extremely wealthy man.

Underboss The underboss is second-in-command in the hierarchy of the Mafia crime family. His level of authority varies from family to family, but he is ready to stand in for the boss at any given moment. In the violent and volatile world of the mob, the underboss can easily find himself at the helm of the family so, for the most part, they are usually groomed for an eventual takeover, particularly if the boss’s health is failing or if it looks like he’s headed for a stay in the joint.

Consigliere The consigliere, or chief advisor, is not officially part of the hierarchy of the Mafia, but he plays one of the most important roles in a crime family. He is the close trusted friend and confidant of the family boss. The consigliere is meant to offer unbiased information based on what he sees as best for the family. He’s not supposed to factor emotional concerns, such as retaliation and blood feuds, into his decisions.

Capo The capo, or caporegime, is the captain or lieutenant of a division within the Mafia. He heads a crew of soldiers and reports directly to a boss or underboss, who hands down the instructions.

Soldiers The lowest-ranking members of the hierarchy of the Mafia, the grunts of the organization who do the majority of the “dirty work.” Running errands, making deliveries, picking up cash, and generally sticking out their neck in the hope of making a name for themselves by demonstrating their loyalty to the organization.

Associates Associates are not actual members of the Mafia but rather anyone who teams up with them on a criminal enterprise of some kind. They could be someone who does business with the mob, including money-laundering bankers, crooked cops, lawyers, politicians, drug dealers, etc.

Induction to the Family Formal induction was shrouded in mystery until 1963 Joe Valachi, a made man broke the code of Omerta and testified before the U.S. Senate

The Ceremony Ceremony has evolved over 100 years An associate will be told by their Capo to put on their finest suit. The event is supposed to be a surprise, but usually isn’t Brought before the Boss Finger is pricked with a needle Card of a Saint or a tissue is lit on fire and placed in their hands They take an oath to “burn in hell if they ever betray the family”

Omertà Omertà is the code of silence that prohibits mafia members from helping at all with the cops or prosecutors if they were arrested. The punishment for transgression of this commandment is death, and relatives/family of the turncoat may be murdered as well.

Charles Luciano 1936 convicted of compulsory prostitution by Thomas Dewey Many of the witnesses were pimps and prostitutes who embellished their stories Sentenced 30-50 Still ran his family even though he was a “Guest of the State”
