Ruiz continued, "The Holy Crown Alliance is a small gang from the south of Italy, of course, much smaller than the Mafia. They only have a thousand or two members, and their main business is smuggling goods, arms, and drugs from Eastern Europe to Western Europe."
This kind of local Italian gang originally had nothing to do with us, but over a year ago, one of their leaders brought a few people to New York. We didn't notice them at first; they just organized some street thugs into a small gang. However, later on, customs intercepted a smuggling ship, and it was through that lead that we finally found them."
Because they were having a hard time in Europe, the Holy Crown Alliance chose the United States to expand their market. By the time we noticed them, the Holy Crown Alliance had already become a small gang of dozens of members."
