well i am a londoner and i do know the streets. never heard of any mafia family being feared in the uk. even the higher ups are feared and known and i have not heard of any mafioso in this respect. they may be financiers that of other groups crime but i doubt it as there would most likely be some evidence. as soon as there was a mafia family sniffing around anything in london something would get out. would be sensational as england is such a place. yardies, turks, black english, essex firms, all types of eastern european groups, african crime groups, triads but no mafia. would love to see some evidence of them in the uk. not the aberdeen connection as it seems like a laying low type op as there is very limited opportunities in a random scottish place like this. i mean active in cities such as london, manchester with actual schemes. my point is i have never heard of it.
