Ten Commandments of the Mafia
In 2007, Italian police make an astonishing discovery during a raid on a Mafia boss’ villa: a list of the Mafia’s most sacred laws.
It’s an incredible find: a code of conduct for the Mob. Now, for the first time, former Mobsters speak out about the rules that govern their criminal world; and reveal what happened when gangland began to question the so-called Ten Commandments of the Mafia.
The document makes clear that people with police or informers in their family cannot become members of the Mob. And although mobsters' wives must be respected, they should not expect much support during childbirth: the rules state that "always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife's about to give birth".
The Decalogue was discovered along with a large number of other coded documents in a house near Palermo where Mr Lo Piccolo was apprehended after spending more than two decades on the run from police. Investigators say that the documents - including the Ten Commandments - will give them an insight into how the Mafia operates.
The papers also reveal details of companies with Mafia connections and information about the hierarchy within the organization.
hi all just want to know if any of U's have any good mafia movie series to recommend
I just finished the following great Italian Series a) the Gomorrah ... b) Suburra ,,,
anyone knows ... Thks !
This isn't a documentary, it's pure garbage. Whoever made it knows nothing of the mafia. The most obvious sign is that they insist in equating the American mafia to the Italian mafia when they in fact have little to nothing to do with each other. It is a fallacy to use one to describe the other. The second mistake is to insist in describing the mafia as a somewhat romantic secret society that started with noble intents. Wrong, it always was a criminal society, and there's nothing romantic about it, it is all about power and money. Finally, the rules of the mafia weren't learned in 2007 but in the late 80s from boss Tommaso Buscetta.
If you want to cling to Hollywood's stereotype of mafia, this piece of fiction is for you. If you actually want to learn something, skip it altogether.
Mafia, what Mafia, there is no Mafia!?
All organize crime syndicates have the same rules, Mafia, Russian Mafia, Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza... These are basic rules to keep an underground organization going
Pretty much something of the past. Although, they had time to take over the USA government. They don't kill anyone anymore. Just send then to Iraq!
Most important USA financial activity? Killing.
Then, explain how "Good Guys" they can be?

The albanian code of honor is the same.and is the code that operates the most of albanian mafia in the world
Hell yeah ,i just wrote the Albanian code of honor..or as they call it the blood code,its the same thing.Still there are a lot of old albanians in southern italy and sicily,most of them mafia members.
they were all Albanians who emigrated from albania during the Ottoman Empire in the 15-th centry in southern italy. the code of mafia is the same with the albanian code of honor.Something that never egsisted before in Italy.still in southern italy ,sicyly and calabria remain some villages and cities who speak the old albanian language and call themself old albanians.
I don't know anything about mobs. I find the stuff you have said very interesting though.
the mob = entertainment for me...i ain't f@#$%^ with'em they can do what they want i won't be steppin on anyones toes...people stop getting worked up over s@#$ you really have no clue about. Everyones gotta hustle. Legal or not. whats yours?
they were all Albanians escapet from albania by turks at 1460 and puted in itally. the code of mafia is the code of blud of the albanians. itlian and vatikan inteligent services with cia colaboration inducted all the wars betwen them. this was a secret genocide. and the result was the total assimilation. but still in southern italy sicyly and calabria remain some who speak still albanian and call themself arberesh. the prof is the two major of mafia chiefs toto riina and provenzano were captured and sentecied only few years ago when all the wars were finished that demostrate they were the spies. want to controll a mouvment pot your man in the head of this mouvment.
all be good i say from aussie reading all this ,,,,it makes me feel who has the balls
To the people at the top of this list....
Two friends put into comas.... one died. They were walking past a nightclub run by these people and reports say they supposedly "looked" at someone the wrong way. The owner.
One was 23...one was 25. They were going to meet their girlfriends for a once-off expensive dinner which they'd both saved up for.
The video footage went missing. No one saw anything. COWARDS!!
Where's the "style and class" in that.
There's still a faction of the mob in operation, it's called the US government.
@Tom
And to add to your point, if you don't mind, there is an old saying, (from Prohibition times, in fact...):
"It's only a crime if someone passes a law against it..."
@Tom
Yes, indeed!
@Achems
*shrug* that's the world. Maybe it will get better... I hope so, but I have huge doubts about our capacity for rational thinking, (as a species...)
Again, though, you can't blame the bosses, they will get away with what we let them.
Most people in the Western world are too distracted by mindless trivia to care whether their lives are being stolen by theives.
But theives gotta eat, too!
A magic trick. The art of distraction... etc.
Enjoyed this doc. have read and watched basically everything there is know? about the gansta's organizations throughout the years.
Almost everything is a rip off, a scam, (gansta's)? but a horse with a different name.
Yes, Number one is (Wars)!! credit cards, federal reserve, etc: etc: etc: it is always about control, money and power, since the dawn of time. And I must add...Religion! the biggest gansta's of all!, the number one rip off on money, control and power!
There wouldn't be any Mafia to worry about if we had politicians that didn't try to take advantage by fear induced legislation that attempts feebly to regulate peoples moral behaviors. Make something illegal and you "make my day" for a gangster. Now you know why JE Hoover tried to distance the FBI from the Mafia and it's corrosive influence by claiming "there was no Mafia". AAMOF there isn't, but there are plenty of corrupt politicians who get rich by passing laws that put a happy face on 'The War on Drugs'. A battle lost the very first day laws werer passed that put the play into the cartels hands, and they're still running with the ball.
@ Randy...
HAHAHA!!! Yeah, the next thing they do is bring me up on RICO violations for that cheesy bad joke...
As Randy sez, I / Me, was never Connected, or associated with any criminal organization... So Help Me GOD (Right hand press firmly on The Bible)...
It's just a joke...
@Frankie
LOL! Yes, me too! I was never "connected" or associated with any criminal organization!
All just internet fantasy!
*nothing to see here, move along*
Great documentary. I pretty much knew most of the stuff covered in this film, from watching all the mobster movies. What i didn't know was how the Cosa Nostra started, with the Spanish thing in Sicily.
I also want to say that this website for free documentary's is great. I'm telling all my friends about it... I'll just take a cut from them for the information, charge them a fee for my protection, and we'll have this new little thing of ours... HAHAHA
Just kidding to all you FBI guys out there. I'm not a wiseguy. I'm just having fun!
This video doesn't track well, at least on my computer.
LMAO @ Randy,JustinLee,Cliff,Irish Shane,BJ,YEAR-ONE,evilmaster,ez2b12, Linda. LMAO LOL I do like how Linda "" cLAss. Thanks for the laughs guys.
If you had cash in the bank, whether you had credit or not, your ID would be valuable.
What I read there is that you are living paycheck to paycheck.
That is a heavy burden. You gotta have a large nest egg and many investments and money working for you.
In America anyway. It sucks, but it's life...
@Randy
No prob. If someone tried to steal my identification they would drop it like a hot potato. I'm a cash guy as well. Medical debt is it for me. Fortunately not much debt in that particular area. Especially when considering some of the heavy medical debt people have on their backs. Mine is but a mere feather upon my back.
@Justinlee
By that I meant, "Whatever sells IS morality..."
In other words, money talks, bullsh*t walks, really.
Sorry, if I was unclear.
I see I touched a nerve, money problems?
I'm the guy with the cash. No credit... so...
Credit cards are worse than the mob ever was... do you have credit cards?
