Ok, that clears it up.
When I watched the anime it seemed like they were part of a cartel, just a minor one which had fallen onto hard times. Their land was suitable for farming, but it would have been more profitable on the short term to extract the mineral used in ceramics. The other cartels wanted the land, so they pressured Diego by kidnapping Garcia.
At least that's the way I saw it.
Also keep in mind, Balalaika seems to hold some respect for the familly, respect that she doesn't give easily.
I haven't read the manga, but I'll agree with you that the Lovelace familly is about as close to "Good guys" as you can get, in the shady world of Black Lagoon.
