The Corscican Mafia now control the streets of Paris. They are involved in Racketeering, Robbery, Extortion, Prostitution, Money Laundering, Drug Trade, Gun Trade, Contract killing, Loansharking. The Corsican's are maped (all over the world). They are also involved in Political Corruption with Presidents and Priminster's. The Corsican's control some Las Vegas Casinos and Gambling operations. The Film American Gangster, The Corsican's had a failed assassination on Frank Lucas after he put them out of business through the Harlem Drug Trade in the 1960s through the 1970s.
American Gangster is not a very accurate portrayal. Although he was a big time drug dealer in new york, frank lucas did not put the corsicans out of business. In real life he was not the one bringing heroin into the country it was another black gangster army vet named ike atkinson who was based in north carolina who was smuggling heroin in from south east asia and then selling it to american distributors lucas being one of them. Corsicans were the suppliers, lucas would not have been a threat to them. the french connection had even worked with some black gangsters directly such as melvin williams in baltimore and frank matthews who were way bigger drug dealers than lucas. Nicky Barnes was the guy that controlled harlems drug trade from the top down throughout the 70s.
