Dano Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) History of The Albanesi Crew Patrick Albanesi was a member of an Italian-American criminal organization located out of Denver, Colorado. This was a tight knit group of fifty to sixty members who controlled the city’s Italian-American criminal underworld for most of the 20th century. The crew was known for their burglary and loansharking scams, but soon moved into gambling and drug trafficking later in its existence. With ties to other criminal organizations in Denver, Colorado, such as: The Smaldone Crime Family. Although business for the crew was running smoothly, there was not enough potential to grow. Higher council members of the crew deemed it fit to spread business elsewhere, linking heroin trafficking routes to New York, Montreal, and Los Santos. Patrick Albanesi's crew had control over the construction union and trucking routes in the city of Denver. This allowed the crew to raise the amount of money they were raking in. In 2008 Patrick Albanesi's crew moved to Los Santos to gain more ground and increase the business for the organization. There was already a few known Italian-American crews that set foot in Los Santos prior to Patrick Albanesi's group, such as the Conti Crime Family. Ties to the Denver crew were cut in 2011, after the group seemed to disperse with some members being killed due to inner-faction conflict and others being sent away to prison. Foundation of The Albanesi Crew The foundations of The Albanesi Crew are tied back to Denver, Colorado. In April of 2000, Patrick Albanesi was second-in-command of the notorious Denver crew that controlled the criminal underworld. Patrick Albanesi had a lot of pull of what went on with the various rackets that the group controlled. Cocaine, heroin, gambling, and burglary were all strong suits for Patrick Albanesi's men. For the next five years things ran smoothly in Denver for the group, feeling as if they were on top of the world at one point in time. Patrick Albanesi had no troubles and seemed to steer clear of both the media and law enforcement with all eyes being drawn to other gangs. 2005 poised a real problem for the group, both externally and internally. With inner-conflict brewing due to disputes and arguments, this also brought eyes from law enforcement onto the group. Frank Pugliese was a long-time member of the organization who stood for what Paul Aggio (Street Boss) and Patrick Albanesi believed in, that’s what it seemed so anyway. Frank Pugliese had an outburst at a meeting that was hosted for all members of the organization in June of 2005. Frank Pugliese disagreed with Paul Aggio's plans for the future of the organization and decided to call his own shots for him and his men. A feud began which brought out a very violent year for the organization, over fifteen murders and attention from the police landed another four men in prison. After the feud ended, it left the crew in shambles and business at an all-time low. With heat being brought to the group and information being leaked via police investigations, the system had to be changed. Modern Day In recent times the figure-heads of The Albanesi Crew have had their hands in various activities surrounding the criminal underworld in Los Santos. As of late 2018 the crew carries itself through both illegal and legal means. With the creation of this Los Santos outfit, it brings plenty of new conflicts along with many business opportunities. Patrick Albanesi and a few others are the only remaining connection to that of Denver's crew. Out of Character Our goal is to portray the most realistic Italian-American crew scene in Los Santos.
