Is the New York Mob Back? | The Business of Crime

Extortion, drug trafficking, fraud, and murder. To some, they seem so much more respectable when controlled and regulated as a family business. The usual Mob narrative is one of decline but old-school organized crime families haven’t vanished. They’ve just been forced to venture further into the murky underground.

In The Business of Crime, VICE World News looks at different parts of the criminal economy, separating fact from myth. In this episode, we look at the future of the crime family.
