Nowadays the Italian-American Mob cooperates with the Sicilian Mafia along with other Italian Mobs in Italy. It is currently in places like New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Detroit and Los Santos.

The Funaro Crime Family - From The Past Until Now Prohibition The Funaro Crime Family became a mafia organization in Chicago during the Prohibition, back in 1921 by Vincenzo Funaro, an Italian immigrant from Palermo, Sicily, who immigrated in America in 1909 when he was 10 years old. He spent his teenage years in Brooklyn, New York along with other poor Italian immigrants. When The Funaro Crime Family was established, it was because Vincenzo Funaro took out his prohibition alcohol boss, along with the support of his childhood Italian friends and the support of Thomas Gervasi who was a boss of an Italian-American organization, during the Prohibition area, and wanted Vincenzo to be his "milch cow" and run his own organization. Luckily Vincenzo managed to get photos and evidence, proving the Captain of New York's Police was helping organizations, and had the support from the police too. After Funaro refused to be Gervasi's milch cow, the war between them two started, but Vincenzo was lucky again to have set up everything before the war actually starts, so Gervasi was arrested by the support of Funaro's bribed policemen and Funaro's information, so by that way Vincenzo Funaro made his way to be one of the top people in New York.

His place was taken by Peter Funaro, who was his oldest son, a 27 years old man, who started expanding the business to Los Santos. During Peter Funaro runned the Funaro Crime Family, it was spread mainly in Chicago, New York and New Jersey.

The Funaro Crime Family's criminal activities were mostly racketeering, guns trafficking, prostitution, scams, loansharking, contract killing and money laundering. Peter tried to stay out of drugs, even if it was hard. 1978 - 2013 Peter decided his son Peter Funaro Junior to take over his organization and he to stay out of the /game/, completely becoming legalized, a businessman, a banker, a CEO boss, to clean up his reputation as a Mafia boss. Peter Funaro Junior was 32 years old, and grew up with this kind of life, being the boss's boy, being untouchable, and surely he was. Funaro Junior had his first and only son in 1979, Paul Funaro, who grew up in an atmosphere just like his father's, but his thinking and psychology was completely different. He wasn't /loud/, he wasn't doing so much action like his father, he was rather more quiet but secretly, people said he was really brutal and aggressive. Peter Funaro Junior started in the drug trafficking in 1982. The Funaro Crime Family was making huge profits by the cocaine and heroine trafficking. But with the big money, came the even bigger problems, with police and other organizations, but the family went through it. Peter Funaro Junior's right hand man was John Amargonni, and his consiglieri was Luca DeStefano, until 1994, when Peter's consiglieri became Vittorio Baldinni. Other important people of the Funaro Crime Family at that time were people like Riccardo Angelo, who was one of the Capos of the Funaro Crime family. He had two sons. Giuseppe Angelo and Leonardo Angelo.

As the tradition continues, he wants his son Paul Funaro, to take over the family. Paul becomes the new boss of the Funaro Crime family at the age of 34, and goes to Los Santos, starting to expand his business there, then goes back to Chicago, having Vittorio Baldinni, who was Peter Funaro Junior's consiglieri and now it is Paul's, right next to him. Riccardo Angelo passes away in the end of 2013 and his two sons go to Los Santos, starting to work in Bellomo's organization.

Funaro's is in his Italian restaurant in Chicago all day, when one day he goes back to Los Santos again in 2014, just after LSPD shuts down The Bellomo Crime Network, and this makes Los Santos fall in a /gun/ crisis, with noone supplying so many weapons as The Bellomo's did. He wants to meet with the Angelo brothers, but sadly he finds out that Giuseppe Angelo died in San Fierro docks, shot repeatedly from a point blank range. Leonardo Angelo didn't even go to jail, he was just called up for a talk with the PD detectives, and let go. So since Paul wanted to expand his business in Los Santos, he sets Leonardo to create a crew there, sending two of his trusted men next to him, Vittorio Baldinni and Donny Accardi, giving him finances for a bar which he calls "Little Palermo". When in November 2015, Funaro is back in Los Santos making a decision to live there, he puts a contract on Leonardo Angelo and Vittorio Scaletti along with Vittorio Baldinni do it for him. And now, the Funaro Crime Family is mainly situated in Los Santos.
