Griffith has had a Calabrian Mob presence since the 1930's, possibly 1920's. An early boss and one of the first identified in Government commissioned reports was Rocco Tremarchi, murdered in 1932. Not so much a stronghold in so far as other cells are just as if not stronger, but they are easily the best known cell in Australia due to the Mackay murder.

Another thing on Domenic Marafiote; he had flipped by late 1982. At the time he was murdered, aged 42, he was acting as an informant for SA police and had named several high figures there and in NSW and VIC. This is also a plausible motive for his murder.
