Messina Family: Difference between revisions

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV|2008]], the Messina Family prevented [[Yusuf Amir]] from continuing constructing by the labor union. However, [[Playboy X]] saw a potential business relationship with Amir, and he therefore [[Deconstruction for Beginners|hired]] [[Niko Bellic]] to take down all union workers at Amir's construction site. Sometime later in the same year, [[Rocco Pelosi]] of the [[Ancelotti Family]] kidnapped a union official and had [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis Lopez]] torture him by [[Practice Swing|hitting]] him with golfballs. The union official revealed that the head of the [[LTA]] was working for the Messina's. He later revealed more information to Rocco, and he ordered Lopez' boss [[Gay Tony|"Gay" Tony Prince]] to [[Bang Bang|blow up]] all of the undercover Messina's with [[Sticky Bombs]]. Lopez himself took care of the job, resulting in a construction crane, LTA train and a private jet to be blown up. Harvey Noto, the boss of the family owns the upper class Majestic Hotel in Algonquin. This can be the family's base of operations, but there is no evidence to prove this. The Jewish Mob hired a few rooms in the hotel, hinting the fact that they may be allies to the Messina family, but this remains unproven.  

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|2009]], [[Rudy D'Avanzo]] tricked the [[Algonquin Triads|Triad]] [[Huang Lee]] to believe that his rival [[Jimmy Capra]] was an undercover police informant (in fact he was a Messina Made Man) and was revealing information about the Triads to the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]]. Rudy told Huang that he had bugged Capra's car and he ordered Huang to steal Capra's car from a Messina-owned parking lot in North [[Bohan]]. They later went to a meeting with Capra, where lots of Messina gangsters and possibly Capra himself were killed. They have connection with the Joaming Triad. But after the events of GTA Chinatown Wars it is most likely their friendship has ended. They like to sell Ecstasy and like to buy Coke. Maybe in the year 2009 the Messina Crime Family is the most powerful Family at that time because they are big in numbers. And they are the only Mafia family mentioned in GTA Chinatown Wars. They are friendly in this game unless the player attacks them. They can be spotted in Little Italy, with red clothing. They attack the player with Micro SMG's and are very tough when fighting on the streets. They are not hostile againts the player unless he attacks them. In the GTA Chinatown Wars drug dealing minigame they have two dealers named: Ricci and Vincenzo who like to buy Coke and sell many Ecstasy for a low price. They are discriped as the MOB but this is also the name of an African-American gang in GTA 4 and it DLC's. Maybe this is a programming fault, but this is unknown why this is done. When doing many deals with the dealers of the Messina Family, it will most likely attract police presence.
