Is this the equivalent of the Stidda but in the USA
No,not even close. Stidda is well established in Sicily, nowadays they are working with Cosa Nostra, while Rudaj organization was little more than a crew of albanians who got wiped out after few years.
The Stidda born when mobsters that was shelved decided to start its our organization in the aerea of Gela where was no mafia presence.
Anyway the Stidda is less organizated respect the sicilian mafia but its members called Stiddari went out of Sicily and and have spread throughout Europe and perhaps even beyond.
Im agree with Strax,the Rudaj organization was only a mixed race crew;if was another thing should not be so easly disbanded.
