Women mafiosi who were not inferior to men in severity (8 photos)

Al Capone, Don Corleone and so on. The mafia world is usually male, and women most often play the role of a faithful friend - a beauty in diamonds with a sweet smile.





But it was not always so. In the mafia environment there were women who were involved in the business and coped with it no worse than men. And in some ways they even surpassed them.

Rosetta Cutolo



She was nicknamed "Icy Eyes" and this became her ideal middle name. She, along with her brother, organized the Nuova Camorra Organizzata gang, in order to later become the successor to the Neapolitan mafia.

With drug money, Rosetta bought a huge castle with a tennis court and swimming pool. Special forces stormed the castle, but Rosetta was able to escape and hid for 10 years in various countries. As a result, she got tired of hiding and came to the international police herself to sit quietly and calmly in prison, without all this running around.

Claudia Ochoa Felix





The same “mother of three angels” from the social network page. Selfies, relaxation with girlfriends and... leadership of one of the most serious Mexican cartels. Claudia also did not disdain contract killings. The press called her "the Kim Kardashian of the underworld."

A woman “assumed the throne” of the Los Antrax gang when her husband, who led the gang, was captured by the police. She juggled between raising children, managing social networks and avoiding getting caught by the police. Be visible and at the same time remain free. She was seriously helped in this by a group of impressive bodyguards, whom even the police are afraid of. Only in 2019 she was found dead in her lover’s bed. The circumstances of the death remain unclear

Judy Moran



The entire Moran family kept the city of Melbourne at bay. Judy, the head of the clan, started a war that involved almost all the criminal gangs of the Australian city.

And one of the victims of the conflict was brother-in-law Moran. He was shot the moment he looked into a bar for a glass of beer. And no, it was not Judy’s competitors who killed him - she herself gave the order to kill her own husband’s brother because he did not return her 2 thousand bucks.

Judy is still serving time in an Australian prison, and looking at her it’s hard to believe that this sweet lady was capable of such atrocities.

Sandra Avila Beltran



Another elite Mexican criminal. She calls herself the “Queen of the Pacific” and organized a powerful drug trafficking to California from Colombia.

US detectives fought to unravel the scheme of how Sandra supplied substances into the country, but they never succeeded. She could only be accused of financial laundering.

The court sentenced Sandra to only five years in prison, and she was released after two and a half - for good behavior. I wonder what Beltran is doing now? The police don't know yet either.

Raffaella D'Alterio



It couldn’t have happened without Italy. The Neapolitan mafia group Camorra stands out among them all. They originated in the 18th century and still exist today. Residents of the city have repeatedly turned to the police en masse so that they would finally stop the excesses of the gang, and once mass protests attracted 100 thousand people. After this, law enforcement officers realized that this could not continue.

The police conducted a raid and arrested several hundred people, among whom was Raffaella D’Alterio, the head of the clan. The cute blonde led the most unscrupulous gang in Italy, involved in drugs and collecting “tribute”.

Maria Leon



She controlled the flow of drugs into America, controlled human trafficking, and took on contract killings. And she has thirteen children. Leon fled from the authorities to Mexico, but because of her son she had to return: the young man joined a gang and died when there was a shootout with the police. Maria could not help but say goodbye to her own son and at the funeral she was captured by the FBI.

Anna Gristina



The lovely Gristin family is from the town of Monroe, New York, where the husband sells a variety of real estate, and the wife is passionate about farming and raising four children. Well, who could suspect a mother of many children that she had created a network of elite brothels, including minors.

It was proven that Anna was able to earn $10 million from this business in a few years, and very important officials and celebrities were clients of the brothels. And for this whole nightmare she received... six months in prison.

And all because Anna was able to screw police officers into her scheme, and then handed them over to the investigation. The prosecutor's office, unfortunately, was more interested in the corruption of the police department, rather than prostitution and pedophilia.
