The Vercetti Gang is headed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], a renegade [[Forelli Family]] member who has assumed control of many businesses and property ventures during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], circa [[1986]]. The organization is known to be involved in various illegal enterprises, including extortion, drug dealing and organized crime. Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a [[Mafia]] family, due to being led by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are members, such as [[Lance Vance]] and [[Ken Rosenberg]], who are not Italian. However; it does appear that Tommy structured it to resemble a mafia family. However in San Andreas, The Truth mentions that [[Dwaine]] And [[Jethro]] had their business bought over by the mob. | The Vercetti Gang is headed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], a renegade [[Forelli Family]] member who has assumed control of many businesses and property ventures during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], circa [[1986]].

The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Delores]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]]. When Delores asks which gang Tommy belongs to in an announcement, Tommy responds that he does not belong to any gang (despite running a gang-like criminal organization at this point of the game). To Delores' annoyance, she improvises by simply calling it the "Vercetti Gang". This is the only instance of the name being used in storyline scripts. | The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Delores]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]].
