The Commission

What is a “Commission?”

Ideally, a valid Commission acts as the governing body of the entire mafia community. A Commission traditionally consists of five crime families and serves as a mediator between them as well as all other mafias. Mafias that do not recognize the Commission as supreme are thenceforth recognized as illegitimate mafias. In times of chaos, a Commission is necessary to ensure law and order within the mafia so that its ideals are not lost with the times.

The last legitimate Commission occurred in 2015. It consisted of CJNG, Flores, Lucero, Luciano, and Rizzuto. This Commission was significant because it was the first known legitimate Commission to incorporate cartels along with mafias, effectively bringing together the two communities (which were historically enemies). The 2015 iEra Mafia Commission elected Dom Lucero (then the Don of the Lucero family) as Boss of All Bosses.

Boss of All Bosses:

The phrase “Boss of All Bosses” (BOAB) comes from the Italian, “capo di tutti i capi.” The position of BOAB is established on an “as needed” basis to ensure stability within the mafia. One cannot declare themselves the BOAB. The BOAB must be duly elected by a legitimately recognized Commission. The BOAB mainly deals with inter-mafia politics as well as critical affairs within individual gangs, as needed. The last legitimate Boss of All Bosses was Dom Lucero (2015).
