Zef Mustafa is a former Albanian-American mobster associated with the Gambino crime family.
Early life
Mustafa was born in Albania but moved to America with his parents as an infant in 1962 to escape Enver Hoxha's Communist regime. At the age of 2 his mother died, and then his father also died when he was 11. He was then placed in an orphanage but eventually runs away and also drops out of school in the sixth grade. He was eventually taken in by a local family in the Arthur Avenue area of The Bronx, New York.
In 1986 he was alleged to have beaten a man to death with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat, but was not convicted as the key witness was a woman of ill repute.
Gambino crime family
Mustafa was a regular at the Ravenite Social Club, which was frequented by the Gambino crime family. He was spotted at the club by the FBI 115 times during a three year span in the 1980s.
