The mafia is usually more low key, with the odd person making headlines, while news nowadays seem to be more focused on street gangs and such.

They seem to make their presence more known

If you've never heard of them, that's probably for a reason.

Either in prison, dead, keeping a low profile, or bought-out the right people.

So you have never heard of the HBO series The Sopranos? Tony Soprano is the modern day Don Corleone.

Actually Tony Soprano is the underboss, the real boss of Sopranos is in prison

No need to be so literal. You got my point. The Corleones are the Mafia of the early 1900s. The Sopranos are the Mafia of the early 2000s.

And if you have heard of The Sopranos, then why did you even create this thread? They are the modern day Mafia. </end this pointless thread>

If you haven't heard of the crime families, you've been living under a rock. There are sporadic arrests of members and a few of the families are pretty publicly known.

What's your point? The Sopranos are still recent enough to be considered modern day. If you don't like the Sopranos, then there are lots of other modern day gangster movies and TV shows. Directors like Martin Scorsese and make tons of them.

The Corleones aren't real either. So the Sopranos fit with the TC's Corleones example.

You won't find real Mafia families in movies and TV. You need to have explicit permission from real people before you can use their likeness in a movie or TV show. The Mafia is certainly not going to give their permission for such uses in movies and TV.

The best you can hope for is a few real individuals who have given their permission to be in a movie, such as Donnie Brasco, Henry Hill, etc. I'm not sure how older real people like Al Capone work. I guess they might fall in public domain and so you wouldn't need their permission? I'm not sure. You certainly won't find entire real Mafia families in movies though.

Yes.

I mean, you only have to drive to the wrong neighborhood to get shot at. Those are the gangs.

Those are gangstas, not gangsters. There's a difference.

More relevant than street gangs, probably less relevant than cartels but cartels are literal crime families anyway. US crime families obviously operate less openly than cartels because the US does more to enforce laws and many of the families are involved in quasi-legit businesses which also serve to launder money.
