The Albanian Mob, also known as the Albanian Mafia, is the first gang that Niko Bellic encounters after arriving in the United States. This small-time mob, based in Little Bay, operates mainly in loan-sharking, blackmailing, extortion, and working as hired thugs for larger organisations such as the Ancelotti Family.Albanian immigrants make up the majority of the gang.
