Gambetti Crime Family

Overview

The Gambetti crime family is the most powerful of the five Mafia families that make up Liberty City's Commission in Grand Theft Auto IV. During the game it is led by the elderly Jon Gravelli, who still commands enormous respect despite his failing health.

History

The Gambettis are an old family whose influence reaches across the city's rackets, unions and politics. Under Gravelli they have kept their distance from the noisier Russian and Albanian outfits and from the struggling Pegorino family, whom they regard with contempt.

Territory

Gambetti operations are associated with Little Italy in Algonquin and parts of Dukes, Meadow Hills and Broker. Members drive upscale sedans such as the Sentinel and PMP 600.

Leadership and members

• Jon Gravelli is the boss.
• Gravelli's lieutenants and soldiers appear in the background of his missions.

Role in the story

Late in Grand Theft Auto IV, Gravelli hires Niko Bellic for three missions: escorting Bobby Jefferson to City Hall in Entourage, killing Kim Young-Guk in Dining Out and destroying Russian and Ancelotti drug vans in Liquidize the Assets. Pegorino's dream of joining the Commission alongside families like the Gambettis drives his final decisions.

Relations with other gangs

The Gambettis sit at the top of the Commission with the Pavano, Messina, Lupisella and Ancelotti families. They oppose the Russians and treat the Korean counterfeiting operation as a threat.
