Marina Family

The Marina Family is the richest of the three major families in New York. It gained its place on the commission in 1969, and later gained considerable power after the two major families were weakened as a result of the Vinci-Falcone War.

History
Raul Marina began his life in organized crime working for his uncle Mateo, who was the head of a Colombian cartel in Havana, Cuba. After moving to New York in 1966, Raul established his own drug cartel and made his mark smuggling drug into the city. Throughout the next few years, his faction had strengthened and developed, therefore he was invited to join the Commission at some point during 1969.

Before and during the Vinci-Falcone War, the Vinci Family controlled over eighty percent of Mafia businesses in the city. After the war, the Vinci family was considerably weakened, Raul took advantage of this and obtained ownership of multiple clubs and casinos that the Vinci's had owned.

The family was viewed as second rate by the other families due to the way that Raul Marina operated it.
