    Organized crime worries about legal issues all the time, and their whole purpose is crime.

    Limiting liability, and plausible deniability, is a cornerstone of literally getting away with murder.

      Eh. Aligning your organization with a patron politician or police organization is how you get away with murder.

      The Italian and Jewish Mafias of the 1960s were paramilitary wings of the anti-Communist movement. Once Communism was officially squashed in the 90s, they got rolled up quick.
