Crime Minister is a main character in Gangstar: Crime City.
Description[]
He is depicted as a dark skinned Hispanic man. He seems to know the protagonist from before the events of Gangstar: Crime City. He welcomes the player to Crime City. He resides in eastern Marina Boulevard.
Role[]
Crime Minister remains a very close ally of the player throughout the game. He gives the player a few missions. The player, expanding his scope, moves to Downtown where he has a successful stint working with Inspector Barnes and Shugz. After the player returns to Ocean Drive, Crank Marshall seemingly resumes his alliance with the player but this is later revealed to be a sham as Marshall double crosses him and kills Shugz, allying himself with Kingpin. At this point, Crime Minister returns to the plot as the sole supporter of the protagonist. He offers help and manages to track down Marshall who the player then kills for revenge. Crime Minister oversees the player killing Kingpin and the two then become overlords of the city. At the end of the game he suggests the player to bribe the authorities to overlook the evidence of the crimes committed by the player provided by Kingpin.
