10. The only independent mafia family outside Sicily, according to Calderone, was for a time in Tunis; it consisted of expatriate mafiosi who had fled the fascist police (AC: I, 64-74, 97, 316; Arlacchi 1992: 15-16). This family was mentioned also by Melchiorre Allegra in his 1937 testimony (MA-L'Ora, January 24-25, 1962).

QUESTION: How long did this Tunis mafia family remain independent, and what happened to it?
