For well over a century now, what has been traditionally referred to as “The New England Family” has always been a small but powerful underworld network.
This Mafia family has always been led by capable mafiosi, but its most iconic leader was unquestionably the notorious family boss Raymond Patriarca.

During his time at the top of New England’s underworld, he was the unquestioned boss and everybody on the streets knew it.
