No actually the mob in Italy came from the post-feudal turn to capitalism in Europe. Showing the crony capitalism has been around for a long time.
In the period between when a feudal Lord could raise an army to enforce his beliefs and the rise of civilian police departments. The mob came into being to provide enforcement for pay Open to anyone.
