In Prohibition, they were aware of organised crime rackets, and they
SUSPECTED that it was a national organisation. But they never found any
connections between the groups in different cities.

There's a difference between believing all those organised rackets of
Italians out there are part of the Mafia, and proving it. (No offence,
