The Milano Family is a Mafia crime family based in Los Angeles.
The Milanos is an Italian crime family that has been based in the Los Angeles area for a long time. It had never had the power of one of the New York families or the Chicago familes. Locally it was referred to as the "Mickey Mouse Mafia", and continued to do so into the early 2050s.[1]
Los Angeles had two other Mafia families, the Gillespies and the Larragas. In the 2050s, those two families ruled the roost in Los Angeles, not the Milanos.[2] In the 2060s things started to change as the Larraga and the Gillespie began to lose territory, revenue, and power. The simsense industry went into decline and the Pueblo Corporate Council which never liked the CalHots trade, bought many of those simsense studios. In the underworld a new dynamic competitor appeared, the Koshari who expanded into Los Angeles.[3]
By the 2070s, Los Angeles is a new world for the Milanos. Now the Milanos are the dominant Mafia family in the city, though they still have to contend with the Koshari and the Triads. It runs various criminal enterprises including gambling, prostitution (including bunraku), BTLs, protection, and discrete financial services for the rich and famous. They also distribute internationally the ever popular CalHots.[4] By 2072, the Milanos have finally reached the top tier of the Mafia, with a seat on the Inner Council.[5]
