Pandillero

Criminal

Delincuente

Trouble-maker is very mild. For this I would use Travieso

Mafioso /a =gangster is probably the closest thing to organized crime you can find

How about "matón". I think it means killer/bully but I hear Cypress Hill use it to refer to other gangster types.. but a native would have to confirm it as gangster, because it might not be.
