Biography[]
Umberto Robina was born in Cuba, in 1944 the son of Alberto Robina. The family fled to the United States to escape Fidel Castro's communist regime, and Alberto Robina opened a café in the Little Havana neighborhood in the city of Miami, Florida. The younger Robina became the head of the Robina Gang, a gang of Cuban exiles that roamed the streets of Miami during the mid-1980s. Robina teamed up with Victor Vance to expel the Mexican gangs from Little Havana, but he fought a war with the Haitian gangs in 1986 following the assassination of the Haitian gang lord Martin Lajoie at the funeral of the previous boss. Robina allied with Tommy Vercetti to fight this threat, and the Haitian drug factory was destroyed and the gang weakened. The Cubans and Haitians engaged in street shootouts throughout the year, with their war taking place all across Downtown Miami whenever they saw each other.
