A Mafia is a secret society reputed to
control organized crime such as gambling,
loansharking, drug traffic, prostitution, and
protection, connected with the Camorra of
Naples. It originated in Sicily in the late
Middle Ages and now operates chiefly there
and in countries to which Italians have
emigrated, such as the USA and Australia.
