About this listen

 The “mafia” in Chicago has a long and storied history, with origins dating back as far as the late 1800s. It has ties to the island of Sicily, and is also known as “The Outfit” and “La Cosa Nostra,” an Italian phrase apparently meaning “Our Thing”. The Chicago Outfit was born from the murder of James “Big Jim” Colosimo on May 11th, 1920. Content Warnings: organized crime, murder.
