The Brooklyn Camorra was one of the most powerful gangs that dominated organized crime activities in Brooklyn, New York. The Brooklyn Camorra was a sub group of the Camorra; whose operations are still one of the most powerful in Italy today. The Brooklyn Camorra was not a unified group. There were two groups who worked together; one on Navy Street in South Brooklyn, and the other in Coney Island. Its illicit activities included gambling, loansharking, extortion, money laundering, prostitution,fraud, hijacking, and fencing. Mafia-Camorra War The Mafia-Camorra War was a gang war in New York City during the World War I era. One side was the Sicilian Morello crime family of Manhattan, the other side was Camorra, an ancient Neapolitan gang with a subgroup in the vicinity of Navy Street in Brooklyn, and the Coney Island gang. The gang war lasted from 1914 through 1917 and the trials of 1918. The gang war resulted in the Neapolitan Italians to join criminal organizations with the Sicilians in New York.
