WHAT DOES MAFIA MEAN IN MALAY?

Mafia

Mafia

The Mafia, also known as La Cosa Nostra, is a collective call for several criminal organizations in Sicily and the United States. The Mafia was originally the name of an organization of people in Sicily in the Middle Ages for the purpose of protecting and implementing the law itself. Mafia groups spread their wings to the U.S. after the massacre of Italian people in the 20th century. The mafia movement is not only concentrated in Italy but also the United States where migrants are scattered across Europe to the United States which has brought the influence of the mafia there. They are much concentrated in the city where they collect money for protection and sell drugs to support and strengthen their oraganization. The power of the Mafia reached its peak in the US in the middle of the 20th century. Investigation by the FBI in the 1970s and 1980s reduced their influence. Mafia is not limited to the US alone, even Yakuza's group in Japan is also regarded as a mafia group by some.

Mafia, juga dikenali sebagai La Cosa Nostra, adalah panggilan kolektif untuk beberapa organisasi jenayah di Sicily dan Amerika Syarikat. Mafia pada awalnya merupakan nama sebuah organisasi orang-orang di Sicily pada Zaman Pertengahan untuk tujuan perlindungan dan perlaksanaan undang-undang sendiri. Kumpulan-kumpulan Mafia melebarkan sayap ke A.S. selepas berlakunya penghijrahan beramai-ramai rakyat Itali pada abad ke-20. Pergerakan mafia bukan sahaja tertumpu di Itali malah Amerika Syarikat dimana migrasi penduduk di belah eropah ke Amerika yang telah membawa pengaruh mafia ker sana. Mereka banyak tertumpu dikawasan bandar dimana mereka mengutip duit perlindungan dan menjual dadah bagi menyokong dan mengukuhkan oraganisasi mereka. Kekuatan Mafia mencapai kemuncaknya di AS pada pertengahan abad ke-20. Penyiasatan oleh FBI pada tahun 1970-an dan 1980-an berjaya mengurangkan pengaruh mereka. Mafia tidak terhad di AS sahaja bahkan kumpulan Yakuza di Jepun juga dianggap sebagai kumpulan mafia oleh sesetengah orang.
