The Mulner Organization is a criminal syndicate operating primarily in Israel, with its base of operations situated in Ramat Gan. Led by Amir Mulner, the organization has gained notoriety for its ruthlessness and sophistication in carrying out various illegal activities. [1]
Amir Mulner is the head of the Mulner Organization. Known for his calm demeanor and intelligence, Mulner rose through the ranks of organized crime, starting as a member of the Ramat Amidar gang, led by the Harari brothers. He was mentored by Don Ya’akov Alperon, a prominent figure in Israel's criminal underworld. Mulner's leadership has cemented the organization's control over central Israel. [1]
Amir Mulner's involvement in criminal activities dates back to his youth, where he was a member of the Ramat Amidar gang. He gained notoriety during the violent conflicts of the 1990s, notably the war against the Pardes Katz gang, which resulted in numerous casualties and bombings. Despite being linked to these incidents, Mulner has never been convicted.
In the early 2000s, Mulner fled Israel following the testimony of Nissim Yamin, a former associate turned state witness. Yamin's assassination in 2004, allegedly orchestrated by Mulner, further solidified his reputation. Mulner's return to Israel marked a resurgence of his criminal activities, marked by high-profile incidents such as the 2013 explosion of a lawyer's car linked to his cases.
Amir Mulner's confrontations with law enforcement have been notable for his unconventional tactics and successes in court. In a surreal trial, Mulner represented himself and successfully challenged police officers' arguments, leading to his acquittal. Another incident involved Mulner urinating on a wall during interrogation, leading to his immediate release by court order.
Despite numerous encounters with law enforcement, the Mulner Organization continues to operate with impunity, maintaining its stronghold over criminal activities in central Israel.
Organized crime or organised crime is a category of transnational, national, or local group of centralized enterprises run to engage in illegal activity, most commonly for profit. While organized crime is generally thought of as a form of illegal business, some criminal organizations, such as terrorist groups, rebel forces, and separatists, are politically motivated. Many criminal organizations rely on fear or terror to achieve their goals or aims as well as to maintain control within the organization and may adopt tactics commonly used by authoritarian regimes to maintain power. Some forms of organized crime simply exist to cater towards demand of illegal goods in a state or to facilitate trade of goods and services that may have been banned by a state. Sometimes, criminal organizations force people to do business with them, such as when a gang extorts protection money from shopkeepers. Street gangs may often be deemed organized crime groups or, under stricter definitions of organized crime, may become disciplined enough to be considered organized. A criminal organization can also be referred to as an outfit, a gang, crime family, mafia, mob, (crime) ring, or syndicate; the network, subculture, and community of criminals involved in organized crime may be referred to as the underworld or gangland. Sociologists sometimes specifically distinguish a "mafia" as a type of organized crime group that specializes in the supply of extra-legal protection and quasi-law enforcement. Academic studies of the original "Mafia", the Italian Mafia generated an economic study of organized crime groups and exerted great influence on studies of the Russian mafia, the Chinese triads, the Hong Kong triads, and the Japanese yakuza.
A gang is a group or society of associates, friends, or members of a family with a defined leadership and internal organization that identifies with or claims control over territory in a community and engages, either individually or collectively, in illegal, and possibly violent, behavior, with such behavior often constituting a form of organized crime.
Nuestra Familia is a criminal organization of Mexican American (Chicano) prison gangs with origins in Northern California. While members of the Norteños gang are considered to be foot soldiers of Nuestra Familia, being a member of Nuestra Familia itself does not signify association as a Norteño. Some law enforcement agents speculate that the Nuestra Familia gang, which operates in and out of prisons, influences much of the criminal activity of thousands of Norteño gang members in California. The gang's main sources of income are distributing cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine within prison systems as well as in the community and extorting drug distributors on the streets.
The Black Mafia, also known as the Philadelphia Black Mafia (PBM), Black Muslim Mafia and Muslim Mob, was a Philadelphia-based African-American organized crime syndicate.
