prior to the forming of the Five fams, did they have the hierarchical structure like admin then capos then soldiers?
Yes, the structure came from Sicily along with the mafiosi.
Do they use this structure in Sicily?
the boss, UB, consig, capo, soldier structure? if that's what you mean then yes they did. i think CC said they know they used the structure by the 1870's, but its suspected it went back much further.
Modern day do they use it I mean?
Absolutely, Cosa Nostra is Cosa Nostra whether you’re in Sicily or NY the singular family structure is identical. You’ll only start to see differences above the family structure because Sicily has so many families they’re broken up into Mandamenti which consist of 3 neighboring families each and they’ll have a Capomandamento who sits on a provincial commission.
Wow thanks bro. I thought they only had like max 10-30 members & all were soldiers with 1 Captain.
I am certainly no expert on the Sicilian mafia, but my understanding was that there are a lot of families with the 10-30. I even thought most families were like that, but you do have giant families like Palermo with hundreds of members. I'd be interested to see a chart or list of how many suspected members each family had.
