The '''Leone Family''' is an Italian-American [[Mafia]] criminal organization, originating from Sicily (referred to by [[Salvatore Leone]] as "the old country") whose main base of operations is in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] | The '''Leone Family''' is an Italian-American [[Mafia]] criminal organization, originating from Sicily (referred to by [[Salvatore Leone]] as "the old country") whose main base of operations is in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. | ||
The Leone family was active in [[Las Venturas]] in [[1992]], where they held a stake in [[Caligula's Palace]] with the [[Sindacco Family|Sindacco]] and [[Forelli Family|Forelli]] families, possibly in an attempt to unite the organizations. The casino was later robbed in a heist organised by former ally [[Carl Johnson]] and the [[San Fierro Triads]]. | ==Description== | ||
Salvatore Leone became the [[Don]] of the Leone family after a bloody power struggle during the mid-1980s. He has a son, [[Joey Leone]], who much to Salvatore's dismay is not wed yet. It is assumed that Salvatore became Don after his unnamed brother was killed. | |||

It is assumed that because of the great loss of money from the heist, Salvatore abandons his investments in Las Venturas and returns to Liberty City, allowing the Sindacco family to retake their position within the city, however this is merely speculation. Not only that, but the shock of Carl (previously a loyal associate) betraying him and stealing so much of his money right from under his nose drove the Don to paranoia. | It is assumed that because of the great loss of money from the heist, Salvatore abandons his investments in Las Venturas and returns to Liberty City, allowing the Sindacco family to retake their position within the city, however this is merely speculation.

By 1998, the Leone family had become engaged in a war with the Sindacco and Forelli families in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. The hostilities lead to Salvatore being arrested, the death of the Forelli-controlled Mayor [[Roger C. Hole]], the death of Sindacco family Don [[Paulie Sindacco]] and the destruction of [[Fort Staunton]]. The Leones also manage to tackle the [[Sicilian Mafia]], lead by [[Uncle Leone]] and [[Massimo Torini]], leaving them the only [[Mafia|mafia]] family with significant power in the city. The Leone family also recapture a club in the [[Red Light District]], renaming it [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]]. They also gain new territories in the Red Light District and parts of of both [[Hepburn Heights]] and [[Chinatown, Portland|Chinatown]]. However, these events lead to a weakening of the Leone family, with the [[Diablos]] and [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]] moving onto [[Portland]]. Hostilities with the [[Yakuza]] also remain, as Toni had killed the Yakuza leader, [[Kazuki Kasen]]. By the end of 1998, having failed to secure [[Donald Love]] as Mayor of Liberty City, they begin to control new Mayor [[Miles O'Donovan]] after rescuing him from the Sicilian Mafia. | By 1998, the Leone family had become engaged in a war with the Sindacco and Forelli families in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].

In [[2000]] Yakuza co-leader [[Asuka Kasen]] employs [[Mike]] to extract revenge on the Mafia for the murder of her brother Kazuki. The Mafia presumably refers to the Leone family as the Sindaccos and Forellis are severely weakened following the events of GTA Liberty City Stories. She has Mike kidnap at least fifteen Leone Family gang members and sell them in Asia as servants. | In [[2000]] Yakuza co-leader [[Asuka Kasen]] employs [[Mike]] to extract revenge on the Mafia for the murder of her brother Kazuki.

However, Salvatore's paranoia sets in when his wife, [[Maria Latore]], tells him that she fancies Leone's associate [[Claude]]. He rigs a car in order to kill Claude, although Maria informs Claude of this plot. The two meet at a small jetty with the co-leader of the Yakuza, [[Asuka Kasen]], who has Claude kill Salvatore to prove that he has severed all ties with the Leone family. It is unknown who takes over the Leones, although it would possibly be Toni Cipriani as Joey seems not to care for being in charge of the family. | However, Salvatore's paranoia sets in when his wife, [[Maria Latore]], tells him that she fancies Leone's associate [[Claude]].

In [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and GTA Liberty City Stories, Leone henchmen don black suits, some with sunglasses.

The official gang car of the Leone family is the [[Mafia Sentinel]] (or Leone Sentinel), a modified jet black version of the [[Sentinel]]. However, there are also uniquely jet black versions of other cars either used by the Leone family or located near their property in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories. These include a [[Rumpo]] used by the Leones in [[Under Surveillance]], a [[Pony]] used by Toni Cipriani in [[Taking the Peace]], a [[Kuruma]] used by [[Vincenzo Cilli]] and parked outside his house, and a [[PCJ-600]] parked outside Salvatore Leone's mansion. | The official gang car of the Leone family is the [[Mafia Sentinel]] (or Leone Sentinel), a modified jet black version of the [[Sentinel]].
