dbpprop:abstract
  • The Unione Corse, also known as the Corsican mafia, is a secretive criminal organization operating primarily out of Corsica and Marseilles in France. It is an organization of criminals of Corsican descent. Unlike the Sicilian Mafia, it has not attempted to gain a foothold in the United States, and thus does not have the notoriety of the other organization. The name "Unione Corse" is the general name given by French and American authorities to the major Corsican gangs who organized the French Connection, the heroin trade between France and the U.S. in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s.
  • La mafia corse (ou milieu corse) désigne les structures de criminalité organisée d'origine corse. À partir de la Corse, elle s'étend à Marseille et en région PACA, en Afrique, aux Antilles et en Amérique du Sud. Mais la répression des autorités a fait en sorte que la mafia corse se retire du continent et n'opére plus que sur l'île. Il existe des interpénétrations entre la mafia corse et les milieux nationalistes. Il est communément admis par les autorités que le crime organisé se partage l'île en deux parties. Les principaux groupes identifiés sont le Gang de la Brise de mer dans le nord de l'île ainsi que les proches de Jean-Jérôme Colonna (mort en 2006) dans le sud. Depuis 2008 l'augmentation des règlements de compte laissent entrevoir une redistribution des cartes du banditisme insulaire. Les Américains designent la mafia corse sous la dénomination d'Union Corse.
  • La mafia corsa (o milieu corso) designa le strutture mafiose d'origine corsa. Nasce in Corsica e si estende a Marsiglia e nella regione Provenza-Alpi-Costa Azzurra, in Africa, nella Antille e in America del Sud. La principale organizzazione è quella che va sotto il nome di "Brezza del Mare" che, nonostante la repressione subita ad opera dello stato francese, pare sia ancora attiva e sempre piu legata alle frange indipendentiste corse.
