A caporegime is a rank within organized crime families, particularly in the context of the Italian-American Mafia. This position is typically responsible for overseeing a group of soldiers and managing various criminal operations. The caporegime reports directly to a higher-ranking member, such as a boss or underboss, and plays a crucial role in the hierarchy of the crime family. In the Mafia structure, the caporegime acts as a liaison between the upper management and the lower ranks. They ensure that orders from the leadership are carried out and that their crew remains loyal and productive. This role is essential for maintaining the organization’s operations and enforcing discipline among members.
