Synopsis

The decline of New York City's legendary crime families is examined. With the rise and fall of New York mobster John Gotti, America's legendary Mafia may have lost its stranglehold on the underworld, but new ethnic crime groups are taking over.

American law enforcement authorities are fighting these new threats by establishing new offices abroad and strengthening relations with countries throughout the world.
