Chicago Outfit
The Chicago Outfit (also known as the Outfit, the Chicago Mafia, the Chicago Mob, or The Organization) is an Italian-American crime syndicate based in Chicago, Illinois and dating back to the 1910s. It is part of the American Mafia originating in South Side, Chicago. The Outfit rose to power in the 1920s, under the control of Johnny Torrio and Al Capone, and the period was marked by bloody gang wars for distribution of illegal alcohol during Prohibition. Since then, the Outfit has been involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including loansharking, gambling, prostitution, extortion, political corruption, and murder. Following Capone's conviction for income tax evasion, the Outfit was run by Paul Ricca and Tony Accardo for more than 60 years.
The Outfit did not have a monopoly on organized crime in Chicago, but they were by far the biggest criminal organization in the Midwest. The Outfit's control, at its peak, included the West and East, to places as far away as California and Florida. Higher law enforcement attention and general attrition led to the Outfit's gradual decline since the late 20th century. The Chicago Outfit is currently believed to be led by John DiFronzo.
