Organized crime in Miami encompasses the actions of several organized crime groups operating in Miami, Florida, and the Miami metropolitan area. Italian-American Mafia criminal organizations in the city are nicknamed the Miami Mafia. Starting in the 20th century, Italian-American Mafia bosses agreed to share South Florida as a territory open to all Italian-American Mafia crime families, with the exception of the pornography racket, over which the Gambino family held a monopoly.How One Famed Hollywood Restaurant Became the National Center for the Mob Matthew Pearl, Miami New Times (January 30, 2018)
