Georgian mafia (Georgian: ქართული მაფია, romanized:kartuli mapia) is regarded as one of the biggest, most powerful, dangerous and influential criminal networks in Europe, which has produced the largest number of "thieves in law" in all former USSR countries and controls and regulates most of the Russian-speaking and fully controls Russia and Georgia mafia groups.[1] They are very active in Russia and Europe. The Georgian mafia has two major criminal clans from Tbilisi and Kutaisi.[2][3] Georgia always had a disproportionately high number of crime bosses and still has a majority of the 700 or so still operating in the post-Soviet space and western Georgia (Kutaisi Clan) is particularly well represented.[4]
In many of its rules or "laws", the Georgian mafia parallels the Sicilian Mafia.[5]
