Kurdish Mafia
street gang in Finland
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. Rapper Milan Jaff is usually seen as the leader of Kurdish Mafia, although he claims that 47Kurdish Mafia isn't a gang, but instead a brand and a music project. The gang was originally in 2022 seen as an organised crime group by the Helsinki District Court, but was later in 2024 changed to not be an organised crime group.
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. 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. The event was eventually cancelled, when the police found out about the plan. Jaff's car was subsequently searched and the officers found knives, and other bladed weapons in the trunk of Jaff's Cadillac.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kurdish Mafia” as street gang in Finland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as street gang in Finland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136457278. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2021.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
