They were a drug trafficking organisation well before the BMF title.
Also i think a few of you are getting hung up on the mafia title. Drug trafficking is an organised criminal activity and they pretty much fit into many definitions of organised crime.
Organised crime can be defined as serious crime planned, coordinated and conducted by people working together on a continuing basis. Their motivation is often, but not always, financial gain. Organised criminals working together for a particular criminal activity or activities are called an organised crime group.
