Kurdish Mafia, also sometimes called 47Kurdish Mafia or just 47, is a street gang founded and based in Finland in 2019. Members of Kurdish Mafia have been in the news for crimes, such as attempted murder, rape, and assault.[1] Rapper Milan Jaff is usually seen as the leader of Kurdish Mafia,[2][3][4] although he claims that 47Kurdish Mafia isn't a gang, but instead a brand and a music project.[5] The gang was originally in 2022 seen as an organised crime group by the Helsinki District Court,[3] but was later in 2024 changed to not be an organised crime group.[2]
One of the notable rivals of Kurdish Mafia is a street gang called L-City. The two gangs hatred for each other started when a member of L-City, a rapper named Kerza, stabbed Ardar Husein, who has been described as a key member of Kurdish Mafia, in fall of 2021.[5] In retaliation, Milan Jaff along with Yahye Mahdi Mohamud, also known as Cavallini, planned an attack on the Kaivohuone restaurant, where a known member of L-City was going to perform.[5] The event was eventually cancelled, when the police found out about the plan.[2] Jaff's car was subsequently searched and the officers found knives, and other bladed weapons in the trunk of Jaff's Cadillac.[2]
