The Gambetti Crime Family are a mob featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description[]

The Gambettis are the strongest and most powerful of the Liberty City Cosa Nostra families in The Commission.

The Gambettis were led by Sonny Cangelosi until his death in 1978, when he was succeeded by his nephew Jon Gravelli, who led the Gambettis until his own death in 2008. They are based in Broker, Dukes, and Algonquin.

Gravelli claims they have controlled many lucrative rackets, including window cleaning services and bus lines, since 1958.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]

During the events of GTA IV, the Gambetti crime family came into conflict with the Korean Mob, Ancelotti Crime Family, and the Rascalov family, formerly known as Faustin family, led by Dimitri Rascalov. Through the help of the United Liberty Paper contact, Niko Bellic becomes a hired gun for the family to help them get rid of their problems with all the other crime families. Once Niko is done, Jon Gravelli shows his gratitude by bringing Darko Brevic into the country.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]

The Gambetti Family are also mentioned in GTA V during a random event in which the player must rescue Sammy Bottino's daughter from being buried alive on Paleto Bay. Rescuing her opens up a task to drive her to get picked up by a man named Beppe in Vinewood hills. After identifying herself as Sammy's daughter she asks her rescuer if he has ever heard of the Gambetti Family. He will say that he hasn't which will lead her to explain that her father was Don Gravelli's right hand man but had been arrested in 2011 after four years on the run to avoid a murder charge and subsequently became a snitch, giving information about the family to the authorities in exchange for a more lenient sentence served in a five star cell and say that she believes that this is the reason for the hicks targeting her. It is unknown what effect Sammy's actions had on the family, given his esteemed position however it is likely that he would have enough information to take them down by putting a lot of high ranking members in prison for their crimes.
