The Pegorino Family are known through out Liberty City, led by Don Jimmy Pegorino, is not one of Liberty City's five families, and is considered a smaller and less-respectable Mafia outfit than the others, which Jimmy wants to change.
Other key members of the family include Capo Ray Boccino and advisor Phil Bell. This family is primarily based in Alderney, giving rise to its alias, the Alderney Mob. Their 'base of operations' is in fact Jimmy's mansion and is located in North Alderney. The mansion features an Italian style pool, an outdoor eating area, a back garden and a garage that opens and closes depending on where Niko stands. It should also be noted a Cognoscenti car is parked outside in the long driveway.
Description
The Pegorino crime family is based on real life DeCavalcante crime family based in New Jersey mainly Elizabeth, New Jersey. The DeCavalcante family received a commission seat in the late 1970s. It depending on which ending Niko picks has a great effect on The Pegorino family. If Niko chooses the "revenge" storyline then the Pegorino family is in ruins as Jimmy could not go through with the deal with Dimitri, but if Niko chooses the Deal" storyline then The Pegorino family is finallly what Jimmy always wanted it to be they have a seat on the commission, and the money is flowing in. But Jimmy Pegorino's happiness is short lived because just a couple months later Niko tracks Jimmy and Dimitri down to an old warehouse that is their base of operations as Niko infiltrates the base coincidentally Dimitri kills Jimmy. It is assumed after his death, the Pegorino family is destroyed, as Phil Bell (the only living known associate) states he is leaving the organisation. Niko was not an official member, and apart from work, had no ties to the Pegorino family.
