In mid 1800s Italian Mafias started entering the American Underworld. By late 1800s they had built control over select cities like New York. To stop bigger mafia wars and bloodletting they started distributing and dividing the crime empire amongst themselves with nobody else doing that business. So bootlegging, prostitution, gambling, and other businesses were divided area wise amongst the mafia families called coscas. When the mafias couldn agree on the peaceful distribution of the crime empire, then gang wars started and gutters in New York were filled with corpses of members of rival gangs killed by each other.
Similarly, is the case of the criminal political empire set up by a good old man in the largest reclaimed city in the world. The criminal political empire comprised of extortion (small and big), land grabbing, illegal construction, commissions in government business, illegal sand mining, illegal quarrying, shares in illegal activities, settlements and enforcements, various labour and other unions, forceful and illegal eviction of legal real estate owners from their rightfully owned and occupied properties using criminal methods, etc across the main city, satellite areas, and some other prominent cities in the state. The crime empire also included docks in the main city. The said criminal political empire was up for division amongst cousins.
The good ol man (Godfather of the Mafiosi Cosca) proposed a deal. Son to exclusively keep the main city. Son and nephew to share the loot from satellite areas. Nephew to exclusively keep all other prominent cities. Nephew didnt like the plan. He wanted the main city also. Godfather rejected the request.
This resulted in creation of two coscas. Now both competing with each other and baying for a larger share in the same markets.
Then enters a NYPD Officer Lt. Joseph Petrosino type politician with perceivably no experience.
Something about Petrosino. Petrosino was an Italian immigrant who joined the NYPD and rose through the ranks and was responsible for dismantling organized crime within the Italian immigrant community. Petrosino’s work significantly reduced Italian mafia crime in New York City.
Now this Petrosino type politician with Orangish flavours started dismantling the criminal political empire of the main branch and cadet branch of the mafiosi cosca with politically deft moves and hamhanded approach. He made them irrelevant and in turn ineffective. Lets call him Orangish Enforcer.
The way Petrosino forced the infamous “Five Families” of competing Italian Mafia Coscas in New York to come together for their own survival, this Orangish Enforcer helped both the competing coscas i.e. the main branch and cadet branch of the same cosca to come together for their survival. The Don of the Cadet Branch of the mafia cosca even thanked the Orangish Enforcer for uniting the cosca. Cousins who fought over sharing the bread were brought together by the Orangish Enforcer.
