How did the Italian Mafia react to the rise of Cartels?

by PreguntameCabo

I've been watching a lot of mob movies and documentaries and the Mafia is portrayed/showed as very strong and influential, but according to Cartel documentaries, though, they were rising in power and were much more violent than the Italian Mafia were. How did these groups react to each other?

Your question is about the reaction of the Italian American Mafia to the actions of the Colombian Cartels in the United States and vise versa?
